Description

Winner of the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Critical/Biographical Work

 

Only an idiot believes that he can write the truth about himself.

Here Lies is an insightful look inside the life and work of one of our greatest thriller writers. In this Edgar Award winning autobiography, Ambler applies his deft touch to his own story: his South London childhood, his brief engineering career, his time as an advertising copywriter, and, of course, the publication of his revolutionary spy novels. He then explores his time at war, his service in the film division of the British War Office, and his resulting screenplays.

Here Ambler presents a compelling account of a life as enigmatic as it was exceptional.

 

“A deftly written portrait of a colourful career.”

I am reviewing a copy of Here Lies through Agora Books and Netgalley:



In this insightful autobiography we get a look into the lives of one of the greatest thriller writers Eric Ambler.


This book talks about everything from his South London Childhood to his brief engineering career to his time as an advertising copywriter as well as publishing his spy novels. He even goes on to even talk about his time at war.


I give Here Lies five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
