Eric Clark (British writer and journalist) Add a review

Eric Clark (29 July 1937 – 22 October 2018) was a British author and investigative journalist. Clark is best known for his book The Real Toy Story, which examines the world toy market and the battle companies have to win over consumers. During his career, he wrote several books in both the fiction and non-fiction sectors that have been published in over 20 countries (LINK). His works included thrillers, documentaries, magazine, and newspaper articles.

In the 1960s, Clark wrote a series of articles that appeared in The Observer, focusing on the American Mafia's infiltration of London's casinos. These articles were credited for the changes that were made to the UK's gambling laws. One of Clark's espionage novels, The Sleeper, was described by Kirkus Reviews as 'mind-lingering entertainment that boosts Clark high up in the stark, lean, British-suspense echelons.'
