​

Michael Dane was a professional investigator for over twenty-five years.

​

His Frank McBride stories are entirely fictional but inspired by his own experience as an officer in H.M. Customs & Excise’s National Investigation Service.

​

Michael re-trained as a lawyer and joined the private sector where he investigated cases of fraud, corruption, smuggling, money laundering and breaches of international sanctions on five continents.

​

He now writes full time and lives in England’s Vale of Belvoir.
