Edward Wilson writes fiction, with the bulk of his catalog belonging to the Catesby series. That series spans eight books published between 2008 and 2024, with titles like The Envoy, The Darkling Spy, and The Midnight Swimmer suggesting a focus on espionage and intelligence work. The series has kept a fairly steady pace over the years, with the most recent entry, Farewell Dinner for a Spy, arriving in 2024.
His earliest published book is the standalone novel A River In May from 2002, which came six years before the first Catesby installment. With nine books total across a career stretching over two decades, Wilson is a consistent if selective writer who has clearly found his home in the spy fiction genre.
