Robert Fabian

Robert Honey Fabian (31 January 1901 14 June 1978) was an English police officer, who rose to the rank of Detective Superintendent in the Metropolitan Police.[1] After retirement from the force, he worked as crime writer.[1] His work was dramatised in the BBC drama series, Fabian of the Yard,[1] based on his book of the same name (in reference to New Scotland Yard). Each episode ended with an epilogue in which Fabian described the real-life case on which the preceding story had been based.[1]

Fabian appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 20 Feb 1956.[2]
