Born at the Grays Inn Rd., St. Pancras London 1927, Freeling has lived much of his life in Europe, notably the Vosges hills and Strasbourg. He spent his first fifteen years as a cook in expensive restaurants before turning to writing. An astute, gritty writer of European flavour, his tone, manner, interests and observations are always stamped with his distinctive personality, reflecting all that is great about crime fiction.
