JULIE ANDERSON chats to Paul Burke about her latest thriller THE MIDNIGHT MAN, first in a new historical crime series, Whitehall machinations, the birth of the NHS, finding the post war history of Clapham community, the Clapham Literary Festival, The South London Women & Children's Hospital, the locked room mystery and old British movies.
THE MIDNIGHT MAN: Winter 1946 - One cold dark night, as a devastated London shivers through the transition to post-war life, a young nurse goes missing from the South London Hospital for Women & Children. Her body is discovered hours later behind a locked door.
Two women from the hospital join forces to investigate the case. Determined not to return to the futures laid out for them before the war, the unlikely sleuths must face their own demons and dilemmas as they pursue - The Midnight Man.
BEWARE THE DARKNESS BENEATH
Julie Anderson is the CWA Dagger listed author of three Whitehall thrillers and a short series of historical adventure stories for young adults. Before becoming a crime fiction writer, she was a senior civil servant, working across a variety of departments and agencies, including the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. Unlike her protagonists, however, she doesn’t know where (all) the bodies are buried.
She lives in south London where her latest crime fiction series is set, returning to her first love of writing historical fiction with The Midnight Man, to be published by Hobeck. She writes crime fiction reviews for Time and Leisure Magazine and is a co-founder and Trustee of the Clapham Book Festival.
