Gary Bell is a published author of fiction.

The writer was born into a family that had a history of working in the coal mines. As for himself, when he decided to leave school Gary did not have any qualifications. He was able to find work as an apprentice mechanic as well as several other jobs that included production line worker, fork lift and truck driver, door to door salesman, and fireman.

He was even a football hooligan. Things went south for him pretty quickly when he was eighteen years old when he was arrested on charges of fraud. He was in prison for a brief while and after he got out decided that he would go abroad to seek his fortune and some fame. He spent some time just going to different places around Europe. After a full two years of doing this, he found himself without a home or a penny to his name.

Bell decided that his next move would be to enroll in college to study A and O levels. As an older student he would attend Bristol University with the intent of studying law. It was there that he transformed into an ‘Old Etonian’. He did well enough to graduate and after that went to Beverly Hills in California to spend the year working as a lawyer in litigation.

Bell then decided to return to England and worked on becoming a barrister. It has been now thirty years and up that Bell has been at the Bar. In the process he specialized in defending trials that concerned murder and major fraud. In 2012, he became a QC. That is not all that he has accomplished professionally, however. He has also taken the time to become a stand up comedian, as he is always open to trying new things and challenging himself with different opportunities.

Bell also became an after-dinner speaker, something that may not be surprising to those who know him. When he was attending university, the author was involved in various debate competitions on a national level and won several of them. He also attended Princeton’s World’s Humorous Debating Competition and while he did not win, placed as a runner-up.

Bell has taken lessons and can now fly a plane. He also was the host of The Legalizer, his very own television show that was broadcast on BBC1. He has written for several national newspapers and also is featured in The Spectator in his own column. His autobiography became a best seller and is titled Animal QC.

Elliot has taken extreme pains to make sure that no one finds out his secret, keeping this information under wraps for decades. But are things about to change?

Out of nowhere, a young woman is found dead in Elliot’s home town. She is unidentified but appears to be Middle Eastern. Found somewhere along the outskirts, it looks like murder.
