==Life and works==
Simon Beckett was born on 20 April 1960 in Sheffield, UK, to a working-class background.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Interview with author Simon Beckett )〕 After earning a Master of Arts degree in English, Beckett taught in Spain and played in several bands before becoming a freelance journalist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate=2012-09-10 )〕 He has written for ''The Times'', ''The Independent on Sunday'', ''The Daily Telegraph'' and ''The Observer'', amongst others. He wrote several novels, including ''Fine Lines'' in 1994, before publishing the first novel in the David Hunter series, ''The Chemistry of Death'', in 2006. A crime novel centred on a forensic anthropologist, Dr David Hunter, as the protagonist, ''The Chemistry of Death'' was shortlisted for the 2006 Gold Dagger award. Sequel novels featuring David Hunter have been released in August 2007 (''Written in Bone''), January 2009 (''Whispers of the Dead'') and 2010 (''The Calling of the Grave''). The series has sold several million copies worldwide and is particularly popular in Germany and Skandinavia.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Simon Beckett Official Homepage: Intro )
The books and protagonist were inspired when Beckett visited the "Body Farm" (by its official name: the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility, founded by forensic anthropology pioneer Dr Bill Bass) in 2002, doing research for an article for the ''Daily Telegraph''. Having watched—and participated in—"live" exercises involving manufactured crime scenes containing real decaying corpses, and having witnessed the sciences employed to ascertain how, when and where death occurred, Beckett was inspired to create a central character who is, in his own words, "vulnerable" and "very human", while authoritative and knowledgeable regarding forensic anthropology.〔〔
Simon Beckett is married and currently lives in Sheffield, England.〔
