Stephen Knight is most well known for 'The Brotherhood' and 'Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution', both of which have a very strong anti-Masonic tone. The books are entertaining but have been criticised for being ill-researched and highly speculative, suggesting that there is a secret cabal of Masons running most aspects of British society. Even so, the books caused great difficulties for Freemasonry in the U.K., 'The Brotherhood' in particular. Subsequent Parliamentary Inquiries in Britain resulted in Freemasonry becoming a declarable interest in public employment, especially in the Judicial System and Police.

Stephen Knight also wrote the books 'Cruelly Murdered', 'Requiem at Rogano' and 'The Killing of Justice Godfrey'. He struggled with epilepsy for much of his life and was discovered to have a brain tumour in 1980 while taking part in the documentary TV programme 'Horizon'. The tumour was removed but returned in 1984 and Stephen died in 1985.
