Author Biography

Ruth Kelly is a journalist who has ghosted a string of Sunday Times top ten bestsellers – with The Prison Doctor having sold over 250,000 copies and The Governor going straight to number one on the Amazon charts and number five on the Sunday Times bestseller list.

Holiday destinations feature heavily in her thriller writing, with Ruth having spent most of her life travelling and exploring the world. Her family relocated to Papua New Guinea when she was seven years old and the travel bug hasn’t let up since. The simmering threat of what lies beneath the surface – the dichotomy of how paradise can also be hell – fascinates Ruth. Making a destination a character in its own right – both a friend and an enemy, not someone to be trusted – is a thread explored throughout her writing.
