David Lambkin

David Lambkin is an English novelist. He was born in England, but has spent many years in South Africa and Kenya.

He divides his time between running his own advertising agency in Johannesburg and writing novels and articles (for National Geographic i.a.). A keen amateur naturalist, clay pigeon shot and fisherman, he is also a wine lover addicted to Bach and Beethoven, and an enthusiastic but untrained cook.

His novels are mainly crime fiction set in Kenya with White protagonists.

Lambkin won the South African Central News Agency Literary Award for best debut work for his first novel, "Plain of Darkness", in 1992. He was voted "Author of the Year" by The Star (South Africa) newspaper in 1995 for his novel "The Hanging Tree" and in 2002 for "Night Jasmine Man". Both "The Hanging Tree" and "Night Jasmine Man" are set in Kenya. His fourth novel, "The Voyeur" is set on Zanzibar. Lambkin is also compiling a cookbook on Swahili cuisine and has written scripts for wildlife documentaries.
