Ray Knowles

Ray Knowles has Ph.D. in geology and has taught at several major universities. Subsequently, he worked at the United Nations where he managed mineral exploration projects in Africa,and also was the editor-in-chief of an internationally recognized UN journal. While at the UN he came in to daily contact with Soviet Russian spies working undercover at the UN. Some of them appear as characters in my novel Operation Delilah, although, the name have been changed.

Operation Delilah was a semifinalist in the William Faulkner Literary Competition.

Kirkus review noted: Knowles' serpentine plotline makes for solid suspense laced with humor and cynicism.

The same reviewer commented, This...smart, current, and intricate tale of espionage will appeal to fans of John le Carre, John Altman, and Philip Kerr.
