Malcolm Rose (born 1953) is a British young adult author.
Many of his books, including the Traces and Lawless and Tilley series, are mysteries or thrillers where the hero uses science to catch the criminal or terrorist.
While working as a lecturer, Malcolm was also writing several of his earlier books (Rift, The OBTUSE Experiment, The Higher Form of Killing, Son of Pete Flude) and now although mainly an author he still does some chemistry lectures and visits schools.
[1] As well as writing, Malcolm regularly makes visits to schools, libraries and various other venues.
Both The OBTUSE Experiment and Tunnel Vision were commended by the Young Book Trust.
