ABOUT MICHAEL
Michael Dane was a professional investigator for over twenty-five years.
​
His Frank McBride stories are entirely fictional but inspired by his own experience as an officer in H.M. Customs & Excise’s National Investigation Service.
​
Michael re-trained as a lawyer and joined the private sector where he investigated cases of fraud, corruption, smuggling, money laundering and breaches of international sanctions on five continents.
​
He now writes full time and lives in England’s Vale of Belvoir.
What readers say
The Rutland Legacy is storytelling gold
​
Frank McBride and Bernard Taylor are back, this time pitting their Machiavellian wits against Nazi gold smugglers and the idiot son of an ex-Conservative MP turned TV celebrity chef. The writing and plot direction are as crisp as always; the humour sharper than Denis Law in the six-yard box. And a certain dog gives birth to five puppies under the supervision of a wisecracking female vicar. Add Gerry Gable, the veteran investigator into Far-Right extremism, the magnificent STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) plane of Second World War fame called the Westland Lysander, and Tottenham winning the Double in 1961 - it helps to know these things if you want to do some clandestine breaking and entering - and you have all the ingredients of another cracker from Dane. Now I just need a few pints of Everard’s Tiger to get me through to the next instalment.
