Description

‘An enthralling mystery‘ Rob Parker

Deadly fires are lighting up Brighton, and the latest case is alarmingly close to home for DC Eve Starling. The blaze was deliberately set, and a mother and daughter didn’t make it out of the smoke.

Eve’s investigation takes her deep into her own uncomfortable past. When her key witness disappears, and with the killer always one step ahead, Eve is desperate to solve the case – whatever the cost.

But Eve has no idea how close she is to the flames, and playing with fire can get you burned…

Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Jane Casey and Clare Mackintosh!

About the Author

I

‘m a crime thriller author from Northampton, where I live with my wife Laura and daughter Hallie.

I’ve always been a writer… although the stories I wrote as a child about my pets will never see the light of day, I knew from a young age that one day I wanted to see my name on a book cover. I studied Creative & Media Writing at Middlesex University and then went on to become a copywriter for a global brand.

I’m represented by the always brilliant Maddalena Cavaciuti at David Higham Associates. Watch this space for news on my debut novel, The Deadly Spark, “a dark, compelling crime novel about the fallout after a deadly house fire, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Jane Casey and Clare Mackintosh!”

When I’m not writing (or mumming!), I can usually be found reading, painting, gaming or playing the bass guitar.
