Synopsis

YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE . . .



Kate Irving arrives at her grandfather's cottage at Frenchman's Creek in the dead of night with her young son, a small suitcase, and little else. Its scattered community of fishermen, farmers, artists, and jetsetters barely bat an eyelid, because theirs is a rarefied world, tucked beneath the lush forest that lines the banks of the Helford estuary, deep in the heart of Cornwall, where life is slow and people generally mind their own business. Unless, of course, your grandfather happens to be a pillar of the local community . . .



Kate's left the past behind and guards her privacy and her son fiercely. She's wary of accepting the friendship her new neighbors offer, but their kindness is too great to refuse and she begins to feel she has found her place in the world. That is, until tragedy strikes, and her new friends look to her for the answers . . .



Kate soon learns that the past always catches up with you, in the end—the question is, will she be able to face it, when it does?



Suspense is peppered with romance and humor in this fast-paced mystery, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

Her debut, Holy Island, was released in January 2015 and reached number one in the Amazon UK and Australian charts. Since then, she has released a further twenty novels, all of which have been top three global bestsellers and seventeen of which have been UK #1 bestsellers.

Her eleventh novel, The Infirmary, is a prequel story and is also available as a major Audible Originals audio-drama starring Tom Bateman, Kevin Whately, Bertie Carvel, Hermione Norris, and Alun Armstrong.

In addition to her DCI Ryan series, Louise has created a new series of thriller novels based around the central character of "Dr Alexander Gregory," whose work as a psychological profiler takes him around the world. The first three books (Impostor, Hysteria, and Bedlam) were #1 bestsellers and were narrated in audio by the actors Hugh Dancy (Impostor & Hysteria) and Richard Armitage (Bedlam). She is also writing several standalone romantic suspense novels featuring strong female protagonists which will be available in 2021.

Louise was born in Northumberland, England. She studied undergraduate and postgraduate Law at King's College, University of London, and then abroad in Paris and Florence. She spent much of her working life in London, where she was a lawyer for a number of years until taking the decision to change career and pursue her dream to write. Now, she writes full-time and lives with her husband and son in Northumberland, where she enjoys reading all manner of books, travelling, and spending time with family and friends.

Louise is a keen philanthropist, and is pleased to have supported numerous non-profit programs in addition to founding several of her own, including the Lindisfarne Reading Challenge and the Lindisfarne Prize for Debut Crime Fiction.
