David Wiltshire spent his childhood in Cheltenham before qualifying as a dental surgeon, from University College Hospital, London. He served his National Service in Aden and Singapore.
He is married with three children and eight grandchildren and lives in Bedford.
He is the author of fourteen published novels, some under the name of John Bedford.
This was adapted into a serial for the BBC ~1981 and at the time terrified me. I found the book some years later and reading it brought back that frisson of fear but sadly left me dissapoint in the end. Not a bad book by any means, but somewhat dated in style and content now.
