Lee Wood

Before turning to writing crime novels, Lee Wood enjoyed a long and dynamic career in the music industry. From playing in bands as a teenager to running an indie record label and record shop during the punk rock era, Lee has always been close to the action. He also launched a music collector’s magazine, building it from the ground up to reach a circulation of 14,000 copies a month. Over the years, he’s crossed paths with almost every major ‘pop star’ and fulfilled a lifelong dream by managing The Troggs, one of his all-time favourite bands.

His passion for storytelling began early, with Sherlock Holmes sparking his imagination at just eight years old—and by eleven, he’d already helped the police solve a local crime.

Lee lives in Cambridge and approaches writing as a thrilling new adventure.

As a Gemini, he jokes that his “twin personalities” are at work in his novels—one on the straight and narrow, the other creatively devious—crafting twists and turns his readers love.
