Edward Burlington is the name given to the main protagonist in Beyond Enkription and The Burlington Files series of autobiographical espionage novels. It is a pseudonym for Bill Fairclough, upon whose life the series of six espionage novels is based. In his real life Bill Fairclough used many pseudonyms but not Edward Burlington: these are explained in his biography.
In 1978 Bill founded Faire Sans Dire, a niche global intelligence agency, and prior to that he had been used by or worked for various intelligence agencies after having been recruited for British Intelligence in the early nineteen seventies by Colonel Alan Brooke Pemberton CVO MBE.
The first novel in The Burlington Files series, Beyond Enkription, was written for film adaptation and first published in 2014. It is based on the life of Edward Burlington aka Bill Fairclough from March to December 1974 and is the only novel in the series published to date.
Some reviews of Beyond Enkription liken Edward Burlington to a posh no-nonsense version of Harry Palmer in the espionage films starring Michael Caine which were based on the spy novels such as Funeral in Berlin and The Ipcress File written by Len Deighton.
