Edward Hackford - Feature

Edward Hackford (BGS 1949-57) was born in Boston and studied Science and Theology at Cambridge. He has worked extensively as an election observer in emerging democracies such as Moldova and Kosovo, and has witnessed, first-hand, the effects of economic and political change on every day people, and particularly the aspirational youth. It is this insight he shares with the reader in his first novel, Deadly Consignment.

Formerly Chief Executive of St Albans District Council, now retired, Edward has been Chair of the Trestle Theatre Company, Secretary-General of the European Consortium of Local Government Chief Executives’ Associations, a non-exec Director of an Enterprise Agency, and a Trustee of St Albans Cathedral, alongside his international election monitoring work. His hobbies are chess, bridge and squash. Edward was guest speaker at the OBA 2012 Annual Dinner.

Deadly Consignment is available in paperback and, from Amazon as a Kindle eBook.
