Phil Lecomber was born in 1965 in Slade Green, on the outskirts of South East London - just a few hundred yards from the muddy swirl of the Thames. Although he now resides in the beautiful city of Bath, he has spent most of his working life in the capital, in a variety of occupations. Phil’s diverse career has included time as a musician performing in the city’s clubs, pubs, and dives; a steel-fixer working on the towering edifices of the Square Mile; and a designer of stained-glass windows. For 35 years, he worked in Mayfair at the internationally renowned fine art auction house Sotheby’s, where he oversaw electronic security for some of the world’s most valuable works of art. All of which, of course, has provided wonderful material for a novelist's inspiration. Always an avid reader, a chance encounter as a teenager with a Gerald Kersh short story led to a fascination with the 'Morbid Age' - the years between the wars. The world that Phil has created for the George Harley Mysteries is the result of the consumption and distillation of myriad contemporary novels, films, historical accounts, biographies and slang dictionaries of the 1930s - with a nod here and there to some of the real-life colourful characters that he's had the pleasure of rubbing shoulders with over the years.
