Frank Hurst, who writes under a pseudonym, was born in south London and spent thirty-six years as an investigator and intelligence officer for the British Government.
He travelled widely in his career, including living and working many years in India, South East Asia and the Eastern Caribbean.
After leaving the service of the Crown, Frank has devoted his time to writing novels and more recently has been involved in film-making. His Golden Triangle Trilogy, set in the Far East, has received wide acclaim and won literary awards. In 2024 Frank assisted the BBC in a documentary series about the life and times of drugs smuggler Howard Marks.
Frank has retained his appetite for travelling and when he’s not living the quiet life in West Sussex, he loves nothing better than to return to his old haunts and visit stirring new places around the globe – hopefully stumbling into new adventures in the process.
