One Behind the Ear (2010) is the sole novel by Wensley Clarkson, a writer known almost entirely for his non-fiction true crime work. The book represents a rare foray into fiction for an author who had already published dozens of factual accounts of criminal activity by the time it appeared.
Clarkson’s deep familiarity with the criminal world, built over two decades of reporting and research, informs the novel’s subject matter. However, the experiment with fiction was a one-off. He returned to non-fiction with his next release and has continued writing true crime books at his usual pace ever since.
