Timeline

John Lawton is a television producer/director and author of historical/crime/espionage novels set primarily in Britain during World War II and the Cold War.

1921

For most of the 21st century, so far, he has tended to be elusive and itinerant, residing in England, the United States and Italy.

1980

Lawton worked briefly in London publishing prior to becoming, by the mid-1980s, a documentary television producer at the newly created Channel 4.

1993

In 1993 he settled in New York, and in 1995 won a WH Smith Award for his third book Black Out.

1997

He went back into television in England in 1997, and by 1999 had dropped off the TV and books map completely.

2000

His author bio notes that "since 2000 he has lived in the high, wet hills of Derbyshire England, with frequent excursions into the high, dry hills of Arizona and Italy."

The novels in the Frederick Troy series share the eponymous protagonist Frederick (he doesn't like any form of his given name, preferring to be addressed by his surname) Troy, the younger son of a Russian immigrant father who has become a wealthy newspaper publisher and baronet.

Defying class and family expectations, the independently wealthy Troy joins Scotland Yard, becoming an investigator on the "murder squad".

The rights to the fourth novel in the series (Riptide) were purchased by Columbia Pictures several years ago.

The rest have been optioned repeatedly, in both England and the US, but, so far, nothing has ever made it to the screen, large or small.

The series, in published order:

The series in plot-chronological order:

2001

He returned in 2001 with Riptide (American title: Bluffing Mr. Churchill), which was snapped up by Columbia Pictures.

2008

He appeared in New York, in 2008, with a reading in Greenwich Village.[2] Earlier the same year he was named in the Daily Telegraph (London) as one of "50 Crime Writers To Read Before You Die".

2010

In October 2010 he read in Ottawa, Toronto, Portland and Seattle, ending up at the Mysterious Book Store in Tribeca, and later that year was named in the New York Times Review's "Pick of the Year" for his novel A Lily of the Field.

Many of the biography pages within Lawton's books have a decidedly tongue-in-cheek bent, with hobbies listed as the "cultivation of the onion and obscure varieties of potato", or "growing leeks".

Those close to him would stress that such descriptions are meant quite seriously.
