Stephen Bentley

Stephen Bentley is an award-winning author. Like some other authors, his life experience is broad and unconventional. He spent 30 years in the legal system, first as a detective for 15 years then as barrister plying his trade as "a wig for hire" in London and the English provinces. He was a pioneering undercover cop on Operation Julie and as a barrister defended in trials involving murder, rape, drug importation, other serious crimes and defended soldiers at courts-martial.

He has now written over twenty books. Two of them have been optioned and in development; one as a TV drama series, and one as a drama doc.
