The Girl Who Walked in the Shadows is Marnie Riches' darkest book to date. What happens is every parents' worst nightmare and my heart was in my mouth throughout. Fast-paced, enthralling and heartrending, I couldn't put it down C. L. Taylor, bestselling author of THE LIE
The third edge-of-your-seat thriller in the Georgina McKenzie series.
Europe is in the grip of an extreme Arctic blast and at the mercy of a killer, who leaves no trace. His weapons of choice are razor-sharp icicles. This is Jack Frost.
Now a fully qualified criminologist, Georgina McKenzie is called upon by the Dutch police to profile this cunning and brutal murderer. Are they looking for a hit man or a frenzied serial-killer Could there be a link to a cold missing persons case that George had worked with Chief Inspector Paul van den Bergen two abducted toddlers he could never quite give up on
The hunt for Jack Frost sparks a dangerous, heart-rending journey through the toughest neighbourhoods in Europe, where refugees and Roma gypsies scratch a living on the edge of society. Walking into the dark, violent world of a trans-national trafficking ring, can George outrun death to shed light on two terrible mysteries

Marnie Riches arrives with a fully formed narrative skill that suggests decades of experience; shes created a wonderfully idiosyncratic heroine, prone to bad judgement, and placed her in an artfully constructed novel that even incorporates cogent discussions of sexuality and gender. Ms Riches is clearly a name to watch! BARRY FORSHAW, author of Euro Noir and The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction

Able to speak five different languages, she gained a Masters degree in Modern & Medieval Dutch and German from Cambridge University. She has been a punk, a trainee rock star, a pretend artist, a property developer and professional fundraiser. In her spare time, she likes to run, mainly to offset the wine and fine food she consumes with great enthusiasm.
