Author
David Laws
David Laws is a national newspaper journalist and an award-winning novelist. The author of two thrillers, Munich: The Man Who Said No! and Exit Day, he invests heavily in background research for his novels and bases the characters close to his Suffolk home at Bury St Edmunds. When not working as a reporter or sub-editor on newspapers and magazines, he has tried his hand at driving buses and trains, flying gliders, selling glassware, delivering bread, and some very reluctant soldiering.
