Author of novels Flesh House and Close to the Bone (6)

I believe the answer is:

stuart

(Other definitions for stuart that I've seen before include "Royal house of Scotland and Britain" , "House that used to lead" , "Scottish royal family" , "Scottish royal dynasty" , "9 [HOUSE]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
