Following my early career in writing horror and dark fantasy, I wanted to write something that I had experience in. I wanted to write about policing. Using my ten years of frontline police experience, and feeling underwhelmed with other crime thrillers I had picked up over the years, I couldn’t help but feel that I could do this myself, and I could do it a lot better than most of the other writers out there.
And boy, don’t the reviewers reflect it.

This series was the one that really got me some notoriety, from hitting the Amazon bestseller charts at the number one spot to landing me interviews, speaking gigs, and over ten thousand followers (at the time of writing) to date.

This series has all the good stuff – trauma, personality disorders, serial killers, domestic controlling and coercive behaviour, mental health issues, a cat named Bagpipe, and much, much more.

This series was one that really let me get my own demons out. Being a survivor of trauma and domestic abuse myself, I found writing this series a type of therapy; both unloading what I had experienced in my personal life and telling stories of what I had seen and dealt with in my professional life.
And, dear reader, what a ride it has been.

Detective Laura Warburton is the protagonist in this dark and gritty crime series, and readers have fallen in love with her.
She is the woman you want by your side when shit hits the fan, but you wouldn’t want to date her, nor pick up the bar tab when she is finished.
She will change your mind about thrillers. About those boring, repetitive books that are churned out every year, populating this space.

This series is unique, gritty, and authentic.

This series tells a thriller with the safety off.
