Guy Morpuss

Guy Morpuss practised as a barrister and King’s Counsel in London for thirty years, dealing with cases featuring drug-taking cyclists, dead Formula 1 champions and aspiring cemetery owners. He now writes full-time.

His debut novel, Five Minds, is about five people sharing one body, one of whom is trying to murder the others. His second novel, Black Lake Manor, is a locked room murder mystery set on Vancouver Island, with a killer who can unwind time.

For his third novel, A Trial in Three Acts, he has returned to the law, with a murder trial set in the Old Bailey. It was described by the Times as ‘admirably ingenious’, and by the Financial Times as ‘rather splendid’.
