After the war, Tripp studied law and worked as a solicitor, and started to write fiction during his spare time.
He served in Royal Air Force Bomber Command during World World War II, flying thirty-seven sorties as a bomber-aimer. He recorded his wartime experiences in his one non-fiction work, the memoir The Eighth Passenger. He lived in Hertfordshire, England.
Some of his novels, although they are about the themes of the law, crime, and retribution, are not in the classic crime fiction mould in that they are not whodunnits.
lieutenant is thus not a conventional crime novel but is all about an event that may or may not be deemed a crime. The interest for the reader is in the gradual revelation of the narrator"s state of mind and his motivations.
