Graham Hurley’s three nonfiction books reflect different stages of his career and different interests. Lucky Break? (1981) appeared long before his fiction career took off. Airshow (1998) takes readers behind the scenes of a major military aviation display, drawing on the same research instincts that would later fuel his World War II novels.
Estuary (2012) is a more reflective work about the natural landscape of southern England, the kind of place-focused writing that has always been a strength of Hurley’s fiction. His crime novels and historical fiction are known for their sense of geography, and Estuary shows that same attentiveness applied to the non-human world.
