Derek (William) Lambert (10 October 1929 – 10 April 2001)[1] was educated at Epsom College and was both an author of thrillers in his own name, writing also as Richard Falkirk,[2] and a journalist.
As a foreign correspondent for the Daily Express, he spent time in many exotic locales that he later used as settings in his novels, the first of which, Angels in the Snow, was published in 1969. Between 1972 and 1977 he wrote a series of six novels beginning with Blackstone about a member of the Bow Street Runners in the 1820s.
His 1975 novel Touch the Lion's Paw was adapted to film as Rough Cut.[3]

Lambert made no claims for his books, which he often wrote in five weeks, simply dismissing them as pot-boilers; but in 1988 the veteran American journalist Martha Gellhorn paid tribute in The Daily Telegraph to his intricate plotting and skilful use of factual material. It appealed, she declared, to a universal hunger for "pure unadulterated storytelling", of the sort supplied by storytellers in a bazaar.
