Books In Order: Spotlight on Gary Bell
British author Gary Bell is best known for his gripping Elliot Rook QC series of legal thriller novels. With a past as colorful and varied as the intricate plots he pens, Bell’s life has been a journey from school dropout to celebrated legal eagle and acclaimed author.
A Glimpse Into Gary Bell’s Life Before the Books
His monumental leap from school-leaver without qualifications to the distinguished rank of Queen’s Counsel is both inspiring and awe-inspiring. When he left school, Gary first found employment as an apprentice auto-mechanic. Over the years, he worked divergent occupations including construction worker, relief staff, door-to-door salesman and notably, as a football hooligan. Incidentally, at age 18, Gary was taken in for fraud, a sobering experience that served as a turning point in his life.
Post his release from prison, an indigent Bell spent some time journeying through Europe, an experience that would eventually culminate in him being homeless. His potential and tenacity shone through when he studied for his O and A levels, subsequently undertaking a law degree at Bristol University. Following his graduation, Gary dipped his toes into the formidable waters of litigation as a lawyer in Beverly Hills, California, gaining invaluable experience that would later breathe authenticity into his Elliot Rook QC series.
Transitioning Into the Courtroom and the World of Books
After a year overseas, Bell returned to his native England to make his mark as a barrister, specializing in major fraud cases and murder trials. His disciplined perseverance and exceptional analytical prowess saw him attaining the position of Queen’s Counsel in 2012. Even as he climbed the legal ladder, Gary was crafting his future in the world of books with the same dedication and hard work he was known for.
