DIVE a totally gripping, breathlessly twisty crime mystery

Product Information

If you only kept office hours, that’s 5 years of working 8 hour days, 5 days a week, with no annual leave. Fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney, Angela Marsons, Biba Pearce and Line of Duty, prepare to dive into your new favourite read!

Naomi Harding is held accountable after three of her colleagues are killed during a raid she was leading. I was fortunate enough to forge close connections that’ll last a lifetime, and the writing community is generally friendly and supportive because we all share the same challenges. It was incredibly exciting to have a story to tell that (to the best of my knowledge) has never been viewed through the lens of a police diver.The very next day, I terminated my agency agreement and informed the publisher, because they breached their own contract, a new one should be necessary. The dead girls all have the same nightclub stamp on the backs of their hands — the same one David's daughter had the day she disappeared.

We don’t talk about resilience loudly enough in the publishing industry, but to me, there’s no other way to get the words down on the page than practicing resilience when the writing starts to get tricky. If you’re lucky you’ll find treasure on the foreshore; if you’re not, you could see a body being dredged from the mud. Stephen's long and successful business career brings organisation and expertise to our enterprise; while his love of getting people outdoors is forever an inspiration for the great books we publish. I’ll be recording some podcasts with Chloe Timms and Yvonne Battle Felton, and I hope to attend one of the book festivals like Crimefest or Harrogate. The agreement was for Dive to be published in any format in the English language (as opposed to world-all rights, an important distinction I have since learned).I graduated in 2011 when there were no jobs to be had thanks to the aftershock of the financial crisis. It’s true that the cost benefit of staying silent did not outweigh the novel’s inherent value, but of course, that was not the compass my collaborators were using. I have a playlist of movie soundtracks, although I do only put it on when I’m editing or have hit a snag and need inspiration. If you’d like to know more, I took part in Diary of a Debut Novelist, run by the brilliant Emma Christie.
