Michael Robotham
Best-selling author Michael Robotham was an investigative journalist before becoming a crime writer, but it was his experience working with clinical and forensic psychologists in this role that gave him insight into his future writing genre. Robotham’s first thriller, The Suspect, sold 1 million copies worldwide and his novel The Secrets She Keeps was recently aired as a series on television. He remains the only Aussie to win the UK’s prestigious Gold Dagger Award twice. His latest book, When You Are Mine, has just been released.
