Biography
David Wallen is a former journalist now running a top PR company in London. A Hiding To Nothing comes from the time when I spent a lot of time working in Geneva and some of the other places that appear in the book. Les Deux Alpes, where my hero Don Ward first hears of the missing couple is a popular ski resort in the French Alps. It leads into the aptly named La Grave - one of the most dangerous and frightening glacier runs in the Alps, a route that is dangerous at the best of times. The first time I was in Les Deux Alpes someone had gone missing at the top of the mountain. I don't think they ever found him.
I have had probably thousands of news and feature stories printed in the media around the world but this is my first novel.
I was a contributor to the Chronicle of the 20th Century and earlier ghost wrote a history of Finland in the 20th century - even though I have never been there.
