Paul Winterton information


Paul Winterton (12 February 1908 – 8 January 2001) was an English journalist and crime novelist. During his career he used the pseudonyms Andrew Garve, Roger Bax and Paul Somers.

Winterton was born in Leicester, the son of Ernest Winterton, a left-wing journalist and the Labour Member of Parliament for Loughborough from 1929 to 1931. He was educated at Hulme Grammar School in Manchester and Purley County School in Surrey. He took a degree in Economics at the London School of Economics. He was a reporter for The Economist for four years, and later for the News Chronicle (1933 - 1946). From 1942 to 1945 he was the Moscow correspondent of the News Chronicle, where he was also the correspondent of the BBC Overseas Service.[1]

Winterton was the Labour candidate for Canterbury in the 1931 United Kingdom general election, and for Mitcham in the 1935 United Kingdom general election.[2]

After the war Winterton became an author of crime and mystery fiction full-time. He was a founder-member of the Crime Writers' Association during 1953 and, with Elizabeth Ferrars, its first joint secretary.

Inspector James was his protagonist for the Roger Bax books. Hugh Curtis was his protagonist for the Paul Somers books.

Winterton was married and had two sons and two daughters.
