Ted Lewis was born in Manchester, England in 1940. Lewis attended Hull Art School for four years. He worked as an animation specialist in television and films (among them the Beatles' Yellow Submarine). Lewis' first novel, All the Way Home and All the Night Through was published in 1965, followed by Jack's Return Home, subsequently retitled Get show more Carter after the success of the film of the same name starring Michael Caine, which created the noir school of British crime writing and pushed Lewis into the best-seller list. Lewis' novel GBH is available in reprint from Soho Press (April 2015). Ted Lewis died in 1982 having published seven more novels and written several episodes for the television series Z-Cars.
