Paul Sussman

Paul Sussman (1966-2012) was an English author of thriller novels. He wrote the Yusuf Khalifa series. In addition to being a novelist, Sussman was also an archaeologist and a journalist. As an archaeologist, Sussman (whose focus was Egypt) was able to find pharaonic jewellery from the Valley of the Kings – the only jewellery of the sort to be discovered since King Tut’s discovery in 1922. As a journalist, Sussman wrote a satirical column called “In the News” for The Big Issue . Sadly, Paul died suddenly in 2012 from a ruptured aneurysm, leaving behind a wife and two sons.
