Profiled Reviewer Mark Daniel Mark Daniel is a bestselling thriller writer, but he is also the author of many novelisations ranging from Ghostbusters and Count Duckula to a breakthrough Jack the Ripper, successful young adult novels, books of children's verse, comic fantasy (as Mark F. Parker) and belles lettres including an edition of Gilbert White and French Letters, a humorous work of etymology. His novels set in the world of horseracing were published worldwide to widespread critical acclaim -"a dazzling insider's view of the sport... The characters and the ambience ring absolutely true, with some of the most exciting and realistic race-scenes ever penned… pacey, authentic and genuinely exciting." A Cambridge graduate, he has also written many millions of words in Opinions columns and features, and, as an accomplished cook and former restaurant chef, was for many years the crusading food correspondent for Country Illustrated and The Western Morning News and now for The Liberal, had a monthly racing column in Odds On and has written travel for House and Garden and others.
