A free holiday on the Atlantic coast is too good an opportunity for Izzy to turn down. But soon after she and Ramesh arrive at the opulent Cova Negra Hotel, it’s clear there’s something unusual about the other guests. When the body of a beautiful young woman turns up on the private beach, Izzy discovers that there's darkness lurking behind the luxury. A shady organisation with a violent past, a string of robberies and an unexpected celebrity guest make getting to the truth even more difficult. As she (and occasionally Ramesh’s cats) begin to investigate, she finds that no one is quite who they seem. With bodies piling up and the police baffled, Izzy must face her most savage adversary yet. But how can she catch the killer when each suspect is more duplicitous than the last?

Writing has always been my passion. It was my favourite hour a week at primary school, and I started on my first, truly abysmal book as a teenager. So it wasn’t a difficult decision to study literature at university which led to an MA in Creative Writing. I spent a long time writing kids’ books, including funny fairy tales, dystopic adventures and serious issue-based YA, before switching to murder mysteries last year. I grew up in a crime fiction family and spent a long time dreaming up the idea for my detective Izzy Palmer’s debut novel. A Corpse Called Bob is my first full-length book for adults in what is already becoming a long series. I’m a Welsh-Irish-Englishman originally from South London but now living with my French/Spanish wife and slightly muddled daughter in Burgos, a beautiful city in the north of Spain. I write overlooking the Castilian countryside, trying not to be distracted by the vultures and red kites that fly past my window each day.
