A journalist working a story. Now his murder is a headline . . .
Ann Cleeves is the creator of popular detectives Vera Stanhope and
Jimmy Perez, who can now be found on television in ITV's Vera and
BBC One's Shetland. The Long Call, the start of her new Two Rivers
series featuring Devonian Matthew Venn, has received critical
acclaim and the series is also being adapted for television. She
has written over thirty novels, which have sold over a million
copies worldwide, and in 2017 she was awarded the highest accolade
in crime writing, the CWA Diamond Dagger.
Ann worked as a probation officer, bird observatory cook and
auxiliary coastguard before she started writing. She is a member of
'Murder Squad', working with other British northern writers to
promote crime fiction. She lives in North Tyneside near where the
Vera books are set.
