ⓘ About David Dickinson
David Dickinson was born in Dublin in the Republic of Ireland. He moved to England to study Classics (Latin and Ancient Greek) at the University of Cambridge. And when he finished these university studies he began work at the British Broadcasting Service (BBC). He settled in London with his family and edited several of the BBC’s key programs, including Newsnight (a news and analysis show) and Panorama (a documentary style show which often features undercover reporting on hard hitting current issues). It was around this time, however, that Dickinson also started pursuing his other passion in earnest: writing. Dickinson is known for his series of crime thriller novels, which often focus on aristocratic figures, luxurious destinations and the crimes and secrets of the rich and famous.
