About - Peter Burns

'Utterly fabulous'
ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG

'Shadow Thieves is the real thing'
MICHAEL GRANT

'A thrilling read!'
JONATHAN STROUD

Peter Burns is the author of ten critically acclaimed non-fiction sports books and has been nominated for numerous awards, including twice for the prestigious William Hill Sports Book of the Year.

The truth, however, is that he’s always wanted to write children’s books, so Shadow Thieves is a dream come true.

Peter studied English at the University of St Andrews before gaining a Masters in publishing at Napier University. He lives in Edinburgh with his wife, four kids and a slightly nervous cocker spaniel.

He isn’t a Thief, a Spy, an Assassin or a Politico.

Or is he?
