After more than thirty years as a forensic scientist, most of which were spent in Hong Kong, David Clarke retired to the more bucolic pastures of Tuscany where, after dabbling in art restoration, he took up full-time novel writing. Drawing on his experiences in the scientific investigation of numerous serious crimes, he has written the Dust of Centuries Series (previously the Rare Traits Trilogy), the Cotton & Silk Thriller series and An Imperfect Revenge.
