Mark Garber

I'm a former police officer who decided to write a book on leaving the force. To be honest, I never wanted to be a writer, I was doing it as "a project." I thought my first book would be my last. But as so many kind people have asked me to write another one, I am!

As a lover of history, I was drawn to the case of the Princes of the Tower. Things are not as clear cut as they may first appear!

I now live in the village of Bakewell in Derbyshire, with my wife and our rather large St Bernard!
