Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton served for twenty years in the British army, first in the Irish Guards and later as a troop and squadron commander in the SAS. After that, he worked for a girls' education charity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Mindanao, before starting a safety awareness training company for media and charity teams working in hostile environments and for young people travelling for the first time. For ten years, until 2014, he was the principal private secretary (advisor and chief of staff) to Princes William and Harry and, latterly, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. He divides his time now between the corporate sector and supporting charities focussed on veterans' welfare, the promotion of teachers globally and the HALO Trust (mine clearance). He lives in his native East Suffolk with his wife, family and dogs. Beyond The Edge of Light is his first novel.
A truly spell-binding love story about love and war, told by someone who has lived and breathed it in real life. -- Tom Newton Dunn This is a startingly brilliant first novel. The writing is sublime and it is one hell of a story; tense, gripping and deeply emotional. One of the absolute must read books of the year. -- Tom Bradby
