Lionel Fanthorpe is a world authority on unexplained phenomena and the paranormal. In the 1970s he lectured on it for Cambridge University's Board of Extra-Mural Studies, and is a prolific writer and radio and television broadcaster on unsolved mysteries. His other interests include martial arts and weight training. A recent article by Mike Buckingham in the Argus describes him as a combination of Stallone's toughness and Mrs. Thatcher's decisiveness.
Patricia Fanthorpe contributes the accurate and efficient research capabilities which their kind of work demands. She's also Lionel's sole agent and PR executive, and enjoys folk dancing when their schedule allows! Married since 1957, they have two daughters and live in Cardiff, Wales, UK.
The Fanthorpes' most recent Hounslow Press book is the best-selling The Oak Island Mystery: The Secret of the World's Greatest Treasure Hunt.
