About the Author

Mark Daniel is a novelist, journalist and crusading cook. The son of a racehorse trainer and a wellknown painter of horses, Mark was reared in Lambourn, Berkshire, the home of British horseracing, and was riding as soon as he could walk. He became a frequent visitor to Longchamps and the training-yards of France and soon became familiar with the particular variety of Franglais (' Qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire avec ce bloody 'orse?') spoken in this gallant cosmopolitan sport. Educated at Ampleforth, he won an Exhibition to Peterhouse, Cambridge, then spent his year off in France, where he became fluent in French. As well as his novels and racing thrillers ( Under Orders, Pity the Sinner and The Devil to Pay), Mark has written novelisations, ranging from Ghostbusters to Jack the Ripper, which saw him established as one of the world's leading (if reluctant) Ripperologists. He now writes for several national and local newspapers and magazines, including the Daily Express, the Western Morning News, the Irish Independent, Country Illustrated, House and Gardenand The Liberal, and has a monthly racing column in Odds On. He lives in Exeter, Devon.
