Graham Hurley has been writing crime and thriller fiction since the early 1990s, but his reputation rests primarily on two bodies of work: the Faraday and Winter detective series set in Portsmouth, England, and the Wars Within / Spoils of War novels set during and after World War II. The Faraday and Winter books ran for 12 novels from 2000 to 2012, following DI Joe Faraday and the morally flexible DC Paul Winter through the criminal underworld of a city Hurley knows well.

After completing the Faraday and Winter series, Hurley spun off the Jimmy Suttle books (2012-2015), set a four-book detective series in Exeter, and began the historical fiction that has occupied him since. The Wars Within series, starting with Finisterre (2016), explores World War II from various perspectives, with recent entries like Kyiv and Katastrophe addressing the Eastern Front and the war’s aftermath. He has also written the Enora Andresson series, six books about a former actress caught up in criminal investigations.
