- About the Publisher
Thank you as always to my family and friends for your love and support, especially to my daughter, Jess who couldn’t escape from my plot ramblings despite being halfway across the world – you are the kindest, most thoughtful and bravest person I know. A special mention also to the Low Brow Book Club, who invited me to give a talk on one of my books a few years ago, and haven’t been able to get rid of me since. Thank you to Catherine Ravens, Emma Prior and Helenor Watson for keeping our little group in check.
A very big thank you to my readers. It’s a privilege to have my books published and I couldn’t do it without you. I’d love to hear what you think of my latest novel, so please come find me on social media.
One final note. Soon after finishing this novel, a dear friend of mine died. I had known John Webster for twenty-five years, but it was only at his funeral that I discovered that when he was seventeen, he saved two children from a house fire. He never talked about it, but I should have guessed. He was a true gent, a best mate, and one of life’s unsung heroes.
