Robin Bruce Lockhart
Robin Bruce Lockhart (1920–2008[1]) was a British author.
He was the son of British spy R. H. Bruce Lockhart. During the Second World War, he served in British naval intelligence.
Ace of Spies, his book about legendary secret agent Sidney Reilly, was published in 1967 and adapted into the 1983 television miniseries Reilly: Ace of Spies, starring Sam Neill as the title character with Ian Charleson as his father. The book was republished in 1984 as Reilly: Ace of Spies.
