My fans will know that I am a stickler for accuracy in my forensics and police research, which is out of respect for those that give me such valuable advice. The eagle-eyed amongst my readers may have noticed that there is a bit of a discrepancy when it comes to the stolen bank notes in Buried. The Bank of England regularly take notes out of circulation, which in this case would mean that the ill-gotten gains from the train robbery would have no value in the present day. I decided, therefore, to use my license as a novelist and have the £20 and £50 notes as legal tender, even though in reality they would not have been.

If you enjoyed Buried, then please do look out for the second book to feature Jack Warr, which will be published in 2021. And in the meantime, this Autumn sees the publication of the next book in my Jane Tennison series, Blunt Force, in which Jane finds herself reunited with old friend, Spencer Gibbs, and the two must navigate the salacious world of showbusiness to solve the brutal murder of a famous theatrical agent.

The first five novels in the series, Tennison, Hidden Killers, Good Friday, Murder Mile and The Dirty Dozen are all available in paperback, ebook and audio now. I’ve been so pleased by the response I’ve had from the many readers who have been curious about the beginnings of Jane’s police career. It’s been great fun for me to explore how she became the woman we know in middle and later life from the Prime Suspect series.
