Gordon Kerr es un autor de éxito en el género de no ficción, quien ha escrito varios libros que provocan reflexión sobre crímenes reales, historia, arte, viajes y humor. Kerr nació en la ciudad escocesa de East Kilbride y estudió su educación superior en la Universidad de Glasgow. Después de su graduación, vivió en Francia por un tiempo antes de emprender una carrera en el comercio de vinos en Londres. Más tarde, avanzó a trabajos de marketing en las librerías y la industria editorial, trabajando para compañías conocidas como Waterstones y Bloomsbury.
El trabajo de Kerr abarca una variedad de géneros y se ha establecido como un autor prolífico y exitoso. No comenzó su carrera de escritura hasta más tarde en la vida, después de ganar experiencia en el comercio de vinos, edición y librerías. A pesar de comenzar su carrera de escritura tarde, Kerr ha logrado hacerse un nombre en el mundo literario, con muchos de sus libros recibiendo elogios de la crítica y popularidad entre los lectores.
Kerr está casado y tiene dos hijos adultos. Divide su tiempo entre Hampshire y el suroeste de Francia, encontrando inspiración para su escritura en ambos lugares. Algunas de sus obras más destacadas incluyen "A Short History of China" y "The Houses of Death", que han recibido elogios por su investigación exhaustiva y estilo de escritura atractivo. La capacidad de Kerr para adentrarse en temas complejos y hacerlos accesibles para un público amplio le ha ganado una base leal de seguidores.
