Maurice Procter (1906–1973) was an English novelist. For most of his life, Proctor served as a bobby in the police force of Halifax, where he and his family lived near the King Cross police station. His experience of police work provided praiseworthy realism for his work. His first book No Proud Chivalry was published in 1947, and soon he was able to afford to resign from the force.
Procter is best known for his series of police procedural novels featuring Detective Chief Inspector Harry Martineau of the Granchester City Police. Procter based the city on Manchester. When his novel Hell Is a City (US: Somewhere in This City) was filmed in 1960 with Stanley Baker as Martineau, it was shot in Manchester.--Wikipedia.
