Nicola Monaghan book launch: Wish You Were Here

DNA doesn’t lie. But what if the truth is dangerous?

DNA expert Dr Sian Love has settled into running her own investigative agency and living with her partner, Kris. She’s also started seeing a therapist to work through her traumatic history – a big step for Sian.  Then a teenage girl brings chaos to Sian’s office door. She claims to be Courtney Johnson – a child who went missing from a Brighton beach over fifteen years ago – but refuses to let Sian test her DNA.

Wary but intrigued, Sian reluctantly revives the undercover skills she learned during her police force days and begins investigating. But revisiting the past has consequences…

We are pleased to launch this second Nottingham-based Sian Love crime novel, as we did the first, Dead Flowers. Do join us.

Nicola’s debut novel, The Killing Jar, won a Betty Trask Award and the Authors’ Club First Novel Prize. She taught creative writing for many years and is currently writing a thriller about that experience, as well as studying for her PhD at the University of Nottingham.
