*Praise for Nina Bhadreshwar*
'One of the most original and exciting new voices in crime fiction’ – David Peace
‘Everything I love in a crime novel – passion, interesting and rooted characters and a great story’ – Ann Cleeves
'A complete page turner, tense and gripping, complex themes and a great heroine' – Reeta Chakrabarti
A BRUTAL MURDER
Sheffield detective DI Diana Walker is called to a gruesome scene – the charred remains of a man have been discovered, showing signs of torture. The body was abandoned on the wild moors of the Peak District, but he wasn’t killed there.
A LIFE GONE UP IN FLAMES
An arson fire in Sheffield reveals the site of another murder, this time of a young woman, and DI Diana Walker finds herself investigating two brutal killings.
A DARK TRUTH
When the victims' identities are revealed, Diana searches their seemingly mundane lives for answers. Surprising connections to Sheffield’s criminal underworld reveal webs of corruption at the city’s heart, and something far more deadly.
Nina Bhadreshwar was born in Ipswich and raised in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, during the Yorkshire Ripper years and the Miners’ Strike. At nineteen, she trained and worked as a journalist at her local paper before setting up her own magazine, The Real State. Relocating to Watts, Los Angeles, following a tour with a Mexican-American theatre group, she covered the situation of the gangs post-truce and became the press officer and biographer of Death Row Records. She returned to the UK in her mid-twenties and re-trained as a teacher. Now, Nina is doing a PhD at Dundee University while writing her second novel. She is a graduate of the University of East Anglia’s Crime Fiction MA. The Day of the Roaring won Little Brown's UEA Crime Fiction award in 2022 and is her first novel.
