ROBERT GODDARD
Robert Goddard was born in Hampshire in 1954. He was educated at Price’s School Fareham, and Peterhouse, Cambridge where he read History. He unsuccessfully pursued various career options, finally spending ten years as a local government officer. Frustrated with a lot of contemporary fiction, he set out to write a novel that did what he wanted more novels to do: tell a tightly constructed and densely plotted story engrossingly and satisfyingly. The result was Past Caring and when it became a success he realised that he had, in fact, always been a writer.
Robert Goddard’s first novel, Past Caring, was an instant bestseller and his subsequent books have won a worldwide audience with their swift pacing and labyrinthine plotting. He has won awards in the UK and the US and his books have been translated into more than thirty languages. In 2019 he was awarded the Crime Writers’ Association Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement in the genre.
