Roger Longrigg (1 May 1929–26 February 2000) was born into a military family in Edinburgh, Scotland. He spent some of his childhood in the Middle East, where his father was stationed, but returned to England to study at Bryanston School. He then read History at Magdalen College, Oxford. After completing his degree, he joined an advertising agency in 1955, before writing two novels, A High-Pitched Buzz (1956) and Switchboard (1957), based on his experiences there.
He subsequently went on to write fifty-five novels under eight different pseudonyms, revelling in the challenge and diversity each individual identity afforded him. Extraordinarily, he achieved success within every genre he turned his pen to. He was married to writer Jane Chichester and had three daughters.
His Dan Mallett Investigations are cosy murder mysteries set in rural England.
