Francis Durbridge bol plodný anglický dramatik a autor, známy predovšetkým svojou tvorbou v oblasti kriminálnych románov a detektívok. Jeho najväčším úspechom bolo vytvorenie obľúbenej postavy Paula Templea, džentlmena detektíva, ktorý sa objavil v mnohých rozhlasových a televíznych seriáloch, filmoch a komiksoch, čím si získal obrovskú popularitu. Okrem svojej práce na kriminálnych príbehoch sa Durbridge preslávil aj ako úspešný dramatik a scenárista. Jeho hra „Náhle doma“ bola v londýnskom West Ende uvádzaná s veľkým úspechom po dobu viac ako rok, čo podčiarkuje jeho všestrannosť ako rozprávača.
