Author

Matt Killeen was born in Birmingham and, like many of his generation, was absorbed by tales of the war and obsessed with football from an early age. He has had a great many careers - some creative, some involving laser guns - and has made a living as an advertising copywriter, a music and sports journalist and a writer for the LEGO® Company. Orphan, Monster, Spy and Devil, Darling, Spy are his first novels and were inspired, in part, by the young female SOE agents of WWII. He lives near London with his family and now writes full-time.
