East of Innocence is a fast-paced, hard-edged thriller set in Essex ‒ out east, beyond London, and way outside the law.
David Thorne studied English Literature at Queen Mary's in London
before working in advertising, writing ads for the press, TV and
radio.
He has also written comedy sketches, gags and scripts for the BBC,
Channel Four. Rupert Degas is a prolific audiobook narrator with
decades of experience narrating audiobooks, with some 300 titles to
his credit. His extensive catalogue showcases his remarkable
ability to bring different characters to life with his voice. He
has received particular critical acclaim for his performances of
The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
and for Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy.
In 2022 Rupert was inducted as a Golden Voice by AudioFile
Magazine. What is a Golden Voice? According to AudioFile, 'a Golden
Voice narrator exemplifies the very best in audiobook talent, and
AudioFile bestows the highest honour in audiobook narration on
voice artists who have made significant contributions to the
audiobook art form'. Since 1992 AudioFile has given this lifetime
achievement honour to just 38 audiobook narrators including Miriam
Margolyes, Jim Dale, Martin Jarvis, and Derek Jacobi. Great company
indeed!
In addition to audiobooks Rupert has provided voices for more than
30 animated films and series including Bob the Builder, The Amazing
World of Gumball, Thomas & Friends and The Wild Adventures of
Blinky Bill. Rupert has performed in many radio series and video
games, as well as voicing thousands of commercials and promos. He
also sometimes appears on film, TV and stage, most notably in the
original London productions of Stones in His Pockets and The 39
Steps – for which he and the team won the 2007 Olivier Award for
Best Comedy.
'Narrator Rupert Degas hits ace after ace with his portrait of
Daniel Connell, who was recently fired from his law firm for having
more integrity than self-control ... Hard-bitten characters can be
played in a two-dimensional fashion, but Degas takes Connell to
nearly a fourth dimension with his impeccable timing and emotional
range.'
