Dennis Wheatley

In 1963, rumours spread by Coal Hill School students suggested that novels by Dennis Wheatley might be kept in the "library" that was the Staff Common Room, after having been confiscated. When Susan Foreman entered the Common Room on 2 April of that year, she found this to be false. (PROSE: Time and Relative)

James Stevens thought that 's face looked like it could have been lifted off the cover of a Dennis Wheatley novel. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

Behind the scenes

 * When writing Operation: Hellfire, Jonathan Barnes originally considered making the story a "celebrity historical" centred around Dennis Wheatley. Ultimately, he opted to create a fictional writer in Wing Commander Douglas Quilter instead, who was "Wheatley-esque". (BFX: Operation: Hellfire)
