Born in Scotland and educated at Oxford, he initially pursued a variety of careers, from teaching to running a burger bar, before dedicating himself to writing.

From the ancient mysteries of China in The Golden Library to the high-stakes conspiracies that keep readers on the edge of their seats, Mariani's storytelling prowess is evident.
Join us as we explore the mind of a master thriller writer and uncover the secrets behind the success of the Ben Hope series. In this issue, Mariani discusses his deep interest in history, which has been a driving force behind his novels. He reveals how his childhood fascination with historical events and his academic background in medieval literature have shaped his writing. Mariani also shares insights into his research process, preferring traditional methods over the internet to ensure the authenticity of the historical elements in his books.
In The Golden Library, Ben Hope finds himself in China, uncovering secrets related to the Terracotta Army.
