Francis Durbridge (1912-98) was the twentieth century's foremost writer of thrillers for radio and television. His radio serials are still broadcast today, and his novels and stage plays remain popular worldwide. Best known as the creator of the detective Paul Temple and television serials that achieved record viewing figures, he wrote very much more - as revealed in this definitive guide, the result of several years' research that has unearthed much new information and debunked many myths. A survey of Durbridge's career is followed by details of his novels and his works for radio, television, the theatre and the cinema - not only in the UK, but throughout Europe. There is also a complete listing of his ninety-three Paul Temple comic strips that appeared in the London Evening News. Melvyn Barnes, Director of Libraries for the City of London 1984-2002, has previously written the books Best Detective Fiction, Dick Francis and Murder in Print, together with many contributions to periodicals and reference books in the crime fiction field.
