She’s braver than she knows.

She’s braver than she knows.

It looks like a standard female cop thriller, but stick with it. It gets darker. There must be more, please. No spoilers. Just read it. 

*****

It inspired me to open up the sequel draft (shelved while I was working on other things) and generated a surge of affection for DI Julie Cadell, recovering in hospital at the end of Losing Control. She has a lot of  work to do, and ought to get on with it.

If you want to encourage us, me and my protagonist, there’s a special online offer (£0.99/$£0.99) running from Friday July 3rd 2026 for one week.

Even better, Losing Control is also available in beautiful physical form from all good bookshops – including the Book Corner in Saltburn, Drake in Stockton-on-Tees (don’t forget to visit the new Riverside Park as well, just a short walk away) and Forum Books in Corbridge (also The Accidental Bookshop in Alnwick and the bound Whitley Bay)

What connects Teesside, England and Bhopal, India

A dead body?

A multinational chemical company?

An outsourced IT desk?

A tragic anniversary?

Can DI Julie Cadell find the link before cyber-vengeance brings terror to Teesside?

And for those who love audiobooks (I do!) I also recommend the fabulous audio recording, narrated by Melanie Crawley and Mike Hayley
