Harriet Steel

Harriet Steel published several historical novels and a collection of short stories before turning to crime with the Inspector de Silva Mysteries. She was educated in the New Forest and London and subsequently graduated from Cambridge University with a BA in Law. She practised for many years as a solicitor before becoming a writer. She lives in Surrey and when she is not writing loves to visit art galleries and read about history, activities that inspire her writing. She is also a keen traveller and an enthusiastic gardener.
