Steve Robinson drew upon his own family history for inspiration when he imagined the life and quest of his genealogist-hero, Jefferson Tayte. The talented London-based crime writer, who was first published at age 16, always wondered about his own maternal grandfather – “He was an American GI billeted in England during the Second World War,” Robinson says. “A few years after the war ended he went back to America, leaving a young family behind and, to my knowledge, no further contact was made. I traced him to Los Angeles through his 1943 enlistment record and discovered that he was born in Arkansas…”Robinson cites crime writing and genealogy as ardent hobbies – a passion that is readily apparent in his work.He can be contacted via his website www.steve-robinson.me or his blog at steverobinsonauthor.blogspot.com.

“Steve Robinson’s books just keep getting better. What I found exceptionally well done was Mena’s story. Robinson made that era come to life.” —Cathy Cole, Kittling Books“For me, this was more than a crime mystery novel; it was a piece of fiction every bit as good as Ian McEwan’s Atonement.” —George Hamilton, author“Family historians who enjoy crime thrillers will find this yet another gripping read, bringing an exciting edge to the research skills we are familiar with. A gripping return for genealogist/detective Jefferson Tayte.” —Your Family Tree“If you love a good mystery story, you won’t go wrong with this series.” —Go Buy the Book
