Boris Starling est un journaliste, romancier et scénariste talentueux, réputé pour ses œuvres de fiction criminelle. Sa carrière d'écrivain a commencé jeune, alors qu'un de ses professeurs d'anglais a reconnu son talent, bien qu'un de ses premiers récits se soit avéré être une copie de "Prisonniers du Soleil" de Tintin (Starling, n.d.). Malgré ce début peu prometteur, Starling a depuis produit huit romans, tous des travaux originaux. Cinq de ces livres ont été publiés sous son propre nom, dont "Messiah", "Storm", "Vodka", "Visibility" et "The Stay-Behind Cave". Les trois autres romans, "Soul Murder", "City Of Sins" et "White Death", ont été publiés sous le pseudonyme Daniel Blake (Starling, n.d.).
Les romans de Starling ont connu un grand succès, certains devenant des best-sellers du Sunday Times et du New York Times. Ses livres sont connus pour leurs thèmes liés au crime, chaque histoire présentant au moins un personnage connaissant une fin macabre. Si certains personnages méritent peut-être leur sort, d'autres non, ajoutant un élément d'imprévisibilité à ses histoires. En plus de ses romans, Starling a également créé la franchise "Messiah", qui a été diffusée sur BBC1 pendant sept ans. Il a également écrit des scénarios pour des productions au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis, démontrant ainsi sa polyvalence en tant qu'écrivain (Starling, n.d.).
Au-delà de sa carrière d'écrivain, Starling est un sportif actif, bien qu'il admette que son âge a commencé à affecter ses performances. Il a hérité de la calvitie masculine de son grand-père mais pas de sa taille. Starling vit dans le Dorset, en Angleterre, avec sa femme, ses enfants, ses lévriers et ses poulets, qui doivent rester vigilants pour éviter les renards pillards.
