Press review for The Devil is a Gentleman: The Life and Times of Dennis Wheatley
"Dennis Wheatley was an immensely successful purveyor of popular fiction (The Devil Rides Out, To the Devil , A Daughter, The Satanist) which fell out of favour after his death in 1977. Not quite a gentleman (he came from a family of wine merchants), Wheatley was involved in dubious to the point of criminal activities before he found fame and fortune with a series of over-written thrillers with heroes who could have been the inspiration for James Bond. Phil Baker’s The Devil is a Gentleman is the first biography of Wheatley and is both hefty (700 pages) and engaging. Wheatley comes across as a character out of time, somehow desperately sad. "
