Wrote more than 24 novels and 3 academic books during his career, the most famous being his Wallace of the Secret Service novels.
Alexander Joseph Patrick Wilson may have been an intelligence agent and intelligence officer who lived and worked undercover. This may explain his many varied occupations.
Worked as a spy for the British Secret Service. His work for both MI5 & MI6 has been declared as case sensitive and no information has ever been released to his family.
Had 4 wives and 7 children, keeping each family a secret from the other until his death in 1963, when his third wife Alison discovered he had another wife, the first lady he married, Gladys. He never divorced, so only his first marriage was ever legal.
