Autor/-in: John Lincoln

John Lincoln is the transparent pseudonym of John Williams, the novelist, biographer and crime fiction reviewer for the Mail on Sunday. In his twenties John Williams wrote a book called Into The Badlands, about American crime fiction ('John Williams's Into the Badlands opened up the world of American crime fiction for me and a generation' - David Peace). His true crime account of a notorious miscarriage of justice, Bloody Valentine, is a cult classic, described by Benjamin Zephaniah as his favorite book. Since then he's written eight more books including the Cardiff Trilogy of novels and biographies of Michael X., Shirley Bassey and Eartha Kitt.
