Roy Lewis was born in 1933 and passed in 2019. >His real name was John Royston Lewis, and he lived and wrote in Northern England, where many of his novels are set. Roy Lewis was trained as a teacher and throughout his life, he held many educational positions, such as college principal and school inspector. Even though he wrote a number of non-fiction books, the author is most famous for his more than fifty crime novels. >In a relatively short period of time, Lewis managed to win the attention of a large readership by creating and developing a number of iconic characters. Inspector Crow of Scotland Yard, police officer Eric Ward, and archaeologist Arnold Landon are his most memorable creations in the crime genre. Lewis, widely recognised for his firm grasp on character, is also remembered for his realistic accounts of the Welsh and English lifestyles. His novels are a picturesque depiction of the English countryside towards the second half of the 20th century. From https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/roy-lewis/
