VERY few writers can boast of publishing novels across seven decades, let alone maintaining a loyal readership in that time.
Jon Cleary could, selling more than eight million books and winning fans from You Can't See Round Corners in 1947 to Four-Cornered Circle, his 56th title, released in his 90th year. It is an astonishing record of creative production, especially when you add to it his copious film and television scriptwriting."
