Mer om författaren

Fran Dorricott is a bookseller and author. She studied creative writing at the University of East Anglia, and she received a distinction for her MA in Creative Writing from City University London. Her day job in a bookshop is secretly just a way for her to fuel her ridiculous book-buying addiction. The opportunity to draw inspiration from the many wonderful and whacky customer requests is also a plus. Her first novel, After the Eclipse, was published by Titan in 2019.

If you love your crime fiction pacey, well written and full of suspense this is perfect for you." - Alex Caan, author of The Unbroken"The Final Child is such an elegant, well thought-through thriller.
