New thriller coming this autumn:
Split Second is a brand new thriller from Sophie, coming in September. Like Blood Ties and Blood Ransom, the story is narrated alternately by the two main characters, Nat and Charlie. They meet following a terrorist bomb attack that has affected both their families, and as they strive to find out who planted the bomb and why, their lives – and secrets – become entangled and their loyalties tested to the limit.
