Wensley Clarkson
George Wensley Clarkson was born in September of 1956 and is an English television producer and writer, true crime writer, novelist, and biographer.

All of his working life, he’s been a writer and investigative journalist. His career has taken him from local newspapers to a number of the most prestigious magazines and newspapers all over the world.

His books have also been published all around the world and have sold over two million copies. He has also penned TV dramas, movie screenplays, and worked on many television documentaries in the US, UK, and Spain. His many true crime books include biographies on some notorious criminals in the US, UK, and Spain.

Wensley’s in depth knowledge comes from his ability to speak right to many of these characters, having built up these underworld contacts over many years.

He first covered crime as a national newspaper reporter, back in 1976 for Wimbledon News in South London before quickly moving onto Fleet Street. Here, he worked as a staff reporter on the Sunday Mirror by the time he turned 21. Wensley also worked on the Mail on Sunday’s staff, as well as later freelancing for all of the UK national newspapers, including the broadsheets.

He would eventually quit working for the newspapers in order to work in television and film and wrote his very first book about life as a tabloid reporter, which was called “Dog Eat Dog”. In the year 1991, he was hired by 20th Century Fox to pen a screenplay based off this book and moved his family to Los Angeles, which inspired him to pen a book called “Year in La La Land”.

While he lived in California for three years, he was hired to pen a book about a notorious female serial killer and wound up writing a dozen best selling crime books for the US market. One of these books, called “Deadly Seduction”, was adapted into a highly rated US television film and another dozen of his books have been developed for TV and film.

During the late nineties, he bought a villa on a rock that overlooked the Mediterranean, in Granada, Spain, just a couple hours drive east of the notorious Costa del Crime. British criminals in Spain have provided a lot of the background materials for his best selling books “Gang Wars on the Costa” and “Costa del Crime”.

“The Railroad Killer” is a non-fiction book that was released in the year 1999. Reverend Norman Sirnic and Karen (his wife) were discovered in their bloodstained bed with both their heads smashed in. Josephine Konvicka, a grandma of six that loved gardening, was discovered in her home dead from a blow to the head. As her daughters and husband were out, Claudia Benton (a pediatric neurologist) got nineteen fatal blows to her head.

Angel Maturino Resendez was described by most that knew him to be polite, quiet, and soft-spoken, and a loving dad to a baby girl and husband. However law enforcement officials suspect he may be responsible for upwards of eighty random and grisly murders. These killings all happened in the span of two years and all taking place close to the southwest railroad line that the killer is thought to have ridden on his twisted killing spree.

Each of these cases, the same mode of attacks, which resulted in the same agonizing and prolonged death, seems to have been used. It points to the methodical slayings of a single serial killer. Could Angel Maturino Resendez be the ruthless Railroad Killer, a sadistic killer that led cops on one of the longest manhunts in all of history?

Clarkson tells a fantastic story of this more recent serial killer and writes in plain prose. This is simply an entertaining read that is difficult to set down for too long.

“The Good Doctor” is a non-fiction book that was released in the year 2002. Dr. Harold “Fred” Shipman, age fifty-five, has got a noble dedication to his profession, having won his patients’ trust with his old school bedside manner and ingratiating charm. In fact, he’s even made some house calls, however his unsuspecting patients have no clue of the evil which lurked behind the kindly facade of this kindly doctor.

After practicing for thirty years, his true nature was exposed at last: that of the calculating killer that delivered a prescription for death of his own. Authorities would eventually unearth the stunning possibility that this fatherly physician killed as many as 297 people.

While corpse after corpse was exhumed out of the local graveyard, the question got that much more disturbing. How could a prolific killer such as this stay undetected for this long? What possible motive pushed this apparently “good” doctor to his lethal obsession with murder? And just how many people did he really kill? The quest to find answers would lead investigators into the life of a guy that forever changed the stereotype of a sweet country doctor.

Readers found this to be intriguing, and Wensley does a great job of giving the reader an inside look of Shipman’s family and relays to the reader that even though they’re living, are also victims of this horribly depraved man.

“One Behind the Ear” is a stand alone novel that was released in the year 2010. A white knuckle journey the meanest streets in London by the writer that knows the real truth on the city’s underworld. A one time war hero, Malcolm Deakin, is an assassin: your classic gangland shooter that has twelve ice-cold killings to his name on the streets in London. Each of these murders was committed without any remorse, as he doesn’t give a second thought to any of his hapless victims.

However then comes target number thirteen: an old friend from school. And while the assassin starts researching the contract, he gets the awful feeling that his intended victim will soon turn the tables on him.

Set on the same exact streets and supposedly respectable suburbs where a real-life public enemy number one named Kenneth Noye made his name, this is roller coaster ride through the full brutality of southeast London’s underworld.
