Graham was born in November, 1946, in Clacton-on-sea, Essex, United Kingdom.
Graham received both a Bachelor of Arts and an Master of Arts in English from the University of Cambridge.
Graham became a promotion script-writer with Southern Television, then researcher, then director. He spent the next twenty years making ITV documentaries, many of them networked. Films seabed wrecks of the Titanic and the Bismarck (with American oceanographer Bob Ballard), profiles the Brighton Bomber, produces ITV's account of Richard Branson's near-fatal attempt to cross the Atlantic by balloon, wins a number of awards...but still dreams of getting into print.
An ITV commission for 6-part drama series Rules of Engagement is sucessfully finessed into a two-book contract with Pan-Macmillan. Two more novels, both dubbed "international thrillers" follow. Sacked after Television South loses the ITV franchise and embarks on new career as - at last - a full-time novelist.
Graham's first writting was Rules of Engagement, where he envisioned a world on the brink of war. In Thunder in the Blood, Hurley shifted to the aftermath of the Gulf War. “This is a fascinating book because it sets everything the wrong way round,” commented a reviewer for Books, adding, “but it certainly works.”
In Heaven's Light Hurley imagines an England strangled by a conservative government and the creation of a third political party by a lawyer and an advertising executive who nearly manage to inspire a revolution for independence in Portsmouth. “Within this accomplished thriller is a serious political novel,” remarked Steve Boyd in the London Times.
He also wrote The Perfect Soldier, which Edward French, a reviewer for Books, called this “a powerful story, thought provoking and exciting, and a worthy successor to Hurley’s earlier books.”
Formerly based in Portsmouth Graham now relocated in the West Country. In his latest novel Finisterre published by Head of Zeus in December 2016, Graham returns to his first love, international thrillers and to the Second World War.
Graham Hurley is well known for his DI Joe Faraday and DC Paul Winter crime novels set in the rough and busy city of Portsmouth. In the result of Hurley's success the DI Joe Faraday and DC Paul Winter crime novels were successfully adapted into a French television series. In all, he wrote over 25 novels, the most famous his works: Touching Distance, Angels Passing, The take, Cut to Black, Blood and Honey. Besides, he contributed a column to The Portsmouth News for many years.
