Kenneth Cameron has written across several genres over a career spanning four decades. His Denton series, beginning with The Frightened Man (2008), follows an American writer living in late-Victorian London who becomes involved in solving crimes. The series has grown to seven books and draws on the fog-and-gaslight atmosphere of the period while adding a distinctly American outsider’s perspective.
Under the name Gordon Kent, Cameron also co-wrote the Alan Craik military thriller series, which follows a naval intelligence officer through eight books of post-Cold War espionage and action. Earlier in his career, he wrote the Arms trilogy of historical fiction and numerous standalone novels. His non-fiction works include studies of Africa and America as portrayed in film, as well as a textbook on theatre appreciation.
