Alan Hunter

Alan James Herbert Hunter was born near Norwich, England in 1922 and now lives in a village in the Norfolk Broads area. He has been a poet and naturalist but is best known for his series of suspense/crime/mystery novels about his detective creation George Gently. Between 1955 and 1998 there have been 46 novels in the series ( so far ! ) all characterised by a masterly use of language especially in the probing questioning of police interrogation. In many cases the conversations are as sparse as real life! The latest novels are "The Love of Gods"(1997) and "Over Here"(1998)
