Author bio

Harry Bingham was born in London in 1967, then grew up with one foot firmly planted in Wales. He has said he spent large parts of his childhood there, and that affection shows up all over the Fiona Griffiths books, from Cardiff streets to wild countryside and old Welsh history.

His family background had law and public service close at hand. His father, Lord Bingham of Cornhill, became one of Britain’s leading judges, and Harry later wrote crime fiction with a sharp interest in rules, evidence, and the people who bend both.

Before the books, there was banking. Bingham studied at Oxford University and spent about ten years in investment banking, including work in London finance. That world fed directly into his first novel, The Money Makers, a big business thriller about three brothers racing for an inheritance by trying to make a million pounds on their own.

He wanted to write, but he took the long route.

After The Money Makers, Bingham kept moving between commercial thrillers, historical fiction, and nonfiction. Sweet Talking Money returned to high-stakes finance, this time around medical research and corporate pressure. The Sons of Adam, Glory Boys, and The Lieutenant's Lover widened the canvas, using war, oil, aviation, revolution, and romance to tell large, restless stories.

Then Fiona arrived.

With Talking to the Dead, Bingham introduced DC Fiona Griffiths of the South Wales Police, a young detective who is brilliant, strange, funny, and often out of step with ordinary life. The series works as crime fiction, but readers also come back for Fiona herself. She is trying to solve murders, yes, but she is also trying to understand how to live on what she calls Planet Normal.

Bingham has also written practical books for writers, including The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook Guide to Getting Published and The Writers and Artists Guide to How to Write. That side of his work grew naturally from The Writers' Workshop, the editorial-help business he founded in 2004, later connected with Jericho Writers.

He is still a practical writer at heart.

Bingham has long been based in Oxfordshire, while Wales remains one of the places his fiction keeps returning to. His books tend to mix pace with odd angles: money, institutions, family pressure, strange crimes, and people who are more complicated than they first appear.
