Brian Chapman trained as a scientist and continued with academic research in the UK and North America until his late twenties. He then enjoyed a varied business career with over thirty years’ experience of international commerce across the private and public sectors. It began with the Dutch multinational Philips Electronics with responsibility for product marketing and laboratory management. His marketing skills then transferred to the UK’s National Physical Laboratory promoting scientific services and management of a government advanced materials research programme. This is Brian’s first novel; he lives in Dorking, Surrey, with his croquet mallet, fishing rod and dancing shoes.
