Michael Dibdin was born in England and moved extensively around the British Isles
until his parents reluctantly agreed to his ultimatum, aged seven, that he for
one intended to stay put in Northern Ireland, where they were then living. He
later spent five years in Canada, working as a painting contractor, and another
five in Perugia, Italy, where he taught English at the local university. In 1995
he officially achieved the status which has defined his entire life, that of
Resident Alien, and now lives with his wife, the writer Kathrine Beck, and a
varying selection of their five children in two turn-of-the-century houses in
Seattle, Washington. Dibdin has written thirteen novels, eight of them in the
popular Aurelio Zen series, including Ratking, which won the Crime Writers'
Association "Gold Dagger," and Cabal, which was awarded the French
Grand Prix du Roman Policier. His work has been translated into eighteen
languages.
