Hilary Bonner (born 1949) is an English crime novelist, best known for her psychological thrillers. Almost all Bonner's novels are inspired by real life events, often drawing on her journalistic past.

Biography

Bonner, a former chairman of the Crime Writers Association, was raised near the North Devon coast in Bideford, where her father was a butcher and ran a tea shop. She was educated at the town's Edgehill College, and went on to be accepted for the Daily Mirror Training Scheme as a 17-year-old school leaver. She acquired her first job in Fleet Street aged 20, ultimately becoming show business editor of three national newspapers, The Sun, The Mail on Sunday, and the Daily Mirror, and assistant editor of one. She left Fleet Street in 1993 and became a full-time author.

Her published work includes ten novels, five non fiction books, two ghosted autobiographies, one ghosted biography, two companions to TV programmers, and a number of short stories.

Work

Her novel The Dead Cry Out draws on her real life experience of living next door to a murderer. Its inspiration is the case of John Allen, Bonner's friend and neighbour during the 1980s, who in 2003 was found guilty of the murder of his wife and two children 27 years previously.

No Reason to Die, her most controversial book, focuses on the series of unexplained deaths at Deepcut Barracks and elsewhere within the British Army. Bonner worked with the families of several of the dead soldiers in order to produce a complex conspiracy theory which, while presented as fiction, was believed by some to have come uncannily close to the truth.

Her novel The Cruellest Game, first published by Macmillan in 2013, is set on Dartmoor. It charts the cataclysmic collapse of a woman's apparently perfect life when she finds that almost everything in it is based upon a lie.

The Times described her as 'keeping on the public agenda the stories our masters would prefer buried.'

Personal life

Bonner married actor Amanda Barrie on 12 September 2014.[1][2] The couple live in homes in the Blackdown Hills, Somerset, and London.[3][4]

List of recoilless rifles

This is a list of recoilless rifles (RCLs) intended to catalogue these lightweight infantry support weapons that allow the firing of a heavier projectile than would be practical with a recoiling artillery gun. Technically, only devices that use a rifled barrel are recoilless rifles. The smoothbore variants (those devoid of rifling) are termed recoilless guns. This distinction is often lost, and both are often called recoilless rifles. Normally used for anti-tank roles, the first effective sy...
