Andrew Hyde

Andrew Hyde is retired from a career as a tax investigator and a trainer of tax investigators, the latter role requiring him to have produced instruction manuals, scripts for short movies and computer games.
Living in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex with his wife, Lesley, he occupies himself as a leader of walks in the most beautiful parts of Britain on behalf of the UK's largest provider of activity holidays, as a church steward, as an occasional writer and usually failing to complete the Guardian crossword. He is a keen though sluggish cyclist, an avid collector of bad jokes, and since childhood has followed Colchester United FC through thin and even thinner.
This is his first novel.
