KATE RHODES In Person With Paul

KATE RHODES chats to Paul Burke about her new thriller THE STALKER, The Isles of Scilly mysteries, stalking, and Cambridge.
THE STALKER Elly is an expert in stalking – an academic at Cambridge University and a popular media pundit. She knows the subject intimately: what motivates a stalker, how they behave, how to rehabilitate them.
But now it’s personal. Someone is following her, making silent phone calls and sending her ominous notes. The message is always the same – me or you.
Elly can’t trust anyone – not her family, her friends or her colleagues. She knows that her stalker must be someone close to her. And when they suddenly turn violent, she realizes she’s running out of time to find out who it is.
Because it looks like only one of them will survive.
A terrifying cat-and-mouse chase, told from the perspective of the stalker and the stalked – a roller-coaster ride with an ending you won’t see coming.
KATE RHODES is an acclaimed crime novelist and an award-winning poet. She lives in Cambridge with her husband, the writer and film-maker Dave Pescod, and visited the Scilly Isles every year as a child, which gave her the idea for this series. She is one of the founders of the Killer Women writing group.p
