Edward Marston’s standalone novels date from the 1970s and 1980s, before his career shifted fully to historical mystery series. They include novelizations like Boys from the Blackstuff (1984), based on the BBC television series, and historical works like The Warrior Kings (1978) and Marco Polo (1982).
These early books show the range of a writer who had not yet settled into the mystery genre. Ambridge Summer (1975) and We’ll Meet Again (1982) round out a varied early bibliography.
