Default Michael Dibdin

From BBC News Online


Quote:
British author Michael Dibdin, known for his Italian detective Aurelio Zen, has died aged 60, his publisher says.

The Wolverhampton-born novelist published his first book, The Last Sherlock Holmes Story, in 1978.

His first Zen novel, Ratking, was inspired by four years spent teaching English in Italy. It won the Gold Dagger award for crime fiction in 1988.

He is survived by third wife, Katherine Beck, a daughter from each of his first two marriages and three stepchildren.
