Dias, Dexter

Dexter Dias is a practising barrister specializing in criminal defence. He has already written on a variety of legal and political issues, but the stimulus for writing fiction came when he met acclaimed author Ruth Rendell while he was defending a murder in 1993. "Rule of Law" is his third novel, but the first to be published separately in Canada. He lives in London, and is currently working on a television series for the BBC.
