Chris Stuart has been writing for several years, but this is her debut novel. She has spent 25 years working overseas as a Humanitarian worker, mainly in the Middle East and in other Muslim Countries in Africa and Asia. Her roles have included working in war zones and natural disasters and this experience forms the backdrop to this novel. She has written several short stories and was the winner of the 2016 Elyne Mitchell Rural Writing Award and is a current judge for two writing awards, one in Australia and the other in New Zealand. She writes from the heart as well as the head, so that the reader not only comes on a crime solving journey but also challenges they way we think.
