Gerhard Behrens

Gerhard Behrens' life as a student, during his active work and lately as a novelist has been centred on the Mddle East. After studying in universities in Germany and Egypt he was employed by academic institutions and the government in Germany. He then made a career as a banker and as a businessman working in Egypt and Germany. Behrens now lives in London, where after his retirement he started to write crime novels with a decidedly Middle Eastern background.They are realistic and humorous, not breathless thrillers with more action than mystery. They aim at an audience who love classical whodunits with an exotic touch.
