Roy and Garry Robson are, unsurprisingly, brothers from the Elephant and Castle, south east London.
Their father (variously a pig farmer, cab driver, haulage contractor and general ducker and diver) and mother (homemaker, cook and doctor’s receptionist with a well-timed left hook) raised them and their siblings with some old fashioned south London working class values. These included hard work, respect for their elders and a willingness to duck and dive when required.
They have endeavoured, with varying degrees of success, to maintain the values their parents tried to instill in them. One day, whilst enjoying a beer or two, they decided to write a Crime Thriller Series. The gritty, pulsating and stylish London Large series is the result.
Roy lives in Bromley and works as a Service Delivery Manager for an International IT Consultancy. Garry lives in Krakow and is now, of all things, a sociology professor. Both career choices served as a source of confusion and humour to their parents, who were born and raised in the days before computers and sociology professors existed.
Although Harry ‘H’ Hawkins, the protagonist of the London Large novels, shares some of their old-fashioned values, he is not based upon Garry or Roy, neither of whom would survive the first chapter of a Harry Hawkins novel.

Detective Hawkins Crime Thriller Series
|
Books 4, 5 and 6 in the highly acclaimed London Large crime thriller series featuring Inspector Harry Hawkins: American Lockdown, Way Past Evil and Undefeated.
The London Large box set is a must for lovers of hard-boiled, thrill-a-minute crime action readers.
The central protagonist is Harry 'H' Hawkins, a hard-as-nails and experienced London murder detective who yields to no one in his determination to track down evil men and protect the public. OK, so you've heard all this before...but trust us, you haven't met a crime thriller hero quite like him.
H's adventures take him deep into the bloody underbelly of a dark 21st century London populated by out-of-control eastern European crime gangs, serial murderers, terrorists, establishment paedophile-ring conspirators, people traffickers, and murky international forces that would bring Britain to its knees.
H takes on all these – as well as his own demons – with uncompromising and relentless gusto, a passionate conviction that right is right and wrong is wrong, large doses of gallows humour and, when the crunch comes, a selfless, reckless courage.
So if you enjoy twisty, surprise-filled, high-octane and unforgiving crime action that doesn't pull any punches (and we mean any) and ragged but honourable heroes who are ready to die – and kill – to defend their values, you're going to love H, his family, colleagues and friends, and the searing intensity of the ordeals they endure in the battle to keep Londoners safe, and their city half-way civilized.
What Readers are saying:
***** The books that make up this box set are some of the best crime/thriller books that I have read. The storylines are imaginative and very exciting, the characters are larger than life, but still manage to be believable and the atmosphere of the locations used, especially London, are evoked perfectly by the language used.
***** Brilliantly written and thoroughly engaging
***** I am in love with H. What a complex character. The Robson's books have it all... action, realistic police procedures, well-drawn supporting characters, and humour.
***** A zipline read. Once on, you can't get off until you have slid to the end.
***** I have read all three books and wow they are brilliantly written at a break neck fast pace. If you love crime thrillers that you can't put down I can highly recommend this series. "H" is my hero
***** I can't stop thinking about this book! The story reads like a movie...London Large has everything I want in a story--dynamic characters, and a soulful plot.. 5 massive, gripping stars from me...One of my favourite reads ..
