Antoine Dupont
Paris, France
His heart broken by the sudden death of his mother and his father’s rejection, Antoine Dupont moved to London in 2011 to start from scratch. Behind him, he left a comfortable, cocooned existence as a well-off, highly-educated native of Paris.
Going to London, of all places, was a matter of pure chance – he had been working as a ghostwriter and script doctor for various clients in Los Angeles, and a friend he’d worked with there had already been planning to go and suggested he come along.
He continued to work on other people’s scripts, but once in England’s capital city he quickly found himself immersed deep within a world of stark contrasts. For some, a city of excess, decadent luxury, a world pulsing with drugs and sex, but also a city where those deprived of wealth and opportunity will take a desperate chance to make it into the elite.
Fascinated by the city and its inhabitants, he began to work as a journalist, writing for several international publications under a variety of pseudonyms, whilst continuing his screenwriting career.
Investigating stories introduced him to the hypocrisies of London’s journalistic community and the secrets of Britain ultra-rich “gilded youth” – the spoiled children of influential bureaucrats and tycoons. As a crime scene reporter, he studied and wrote about the rougher edges of the British capital – its rogue cops, the petty thieves, that permeate the country’s economy and culture, and the prostitutes and escorts that service all those with enough money to foot their bills.
“The Silence of Soho”, begun by Dupont in London in 2021 and completed in Paris in 2024, tells Patient A’s story - the names of those involved in the crime have been changed, but it is a story based in fact. It marks Dupont’s first work under his own name following his success as a ghostwriter.
It is the story of a son traumatized by his mother, of a desperate crime committed in the hope of redemption, of the sins of modern society, and the sins of a city like none other – London in 2018.
“It is a story that will inspire your imagination and turn you inside out.”
