Stuart Pawson was a British crime writer who spent most of his career on the Charlie Priest series. Before becoming a novelist, Pawson worked as an engineer, and his practical, no-nonsense background comes through in his writing style. He began the Charlie Priest series in 1995 with The Picasso Scam and published 15 novels in the series.
Pawson set his books in the Yorkshire area he knew well, creating the fictional town of Heckley as Priest’s home turf. His writing has a dry wit and an emphasis on procedure over sensationalism. He also contributed to two multi-author mystery anthologies.
