Desmond Bagley was a multi-million-copy selling author of 16 adventure thrillers, all still in print. Moving to South Africa after WW2, his transition from unskilled printerâs apprentice, aircraft engineer, mine worker, nightclub photographer and radio scriptwriter to one of the worldâs most respected thriller writers is legendary, described by The Times as a âcraftsmanlike thriller novelistâ. Returning to the UK in the 1960s, he lived with his wife Joan in Devon and then on Guernsey, where a blue plaque was unveiled in his honour in 2018.
