CRIME FICTION DOESN'T COME BETTER THAN SHARON BOLTON

'Dark, fascinating and full of surprises' Mark Edwards

'Powerfully atmospheric, unguessably twisty.' Elly Griffiths

Sharon (formerly S J) Bolton grew up in a cotton-mill town in Lancashire and had an eclectic early career in marketing and public relations. She gave it up in 2000 to become a mother and a writer.
Her first novel, Sacrifice, was voted Best New Read by Amazon.uk, whilst her second, Awakening, won the 2010 Mary Higgins Clark Award (part of the prestigious Edgars) in the US. She has been shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger, the Theakston's Prize for Best Thriller, the International Thriller Writers' Best First Novel award, the Prix Du Polar in France and the Martin Beck award in Sweden.

Powerfully atmospheric, unguessably twisty.

Mark Edwards

I love Sharon Bolton's book and this twisty tale takes us back to the spooky isolated landscape of the South Atlantic she writes about so well
Claire McGowan

Original, compelling and unsettling. I loved it.
Rachel Abbott

Atmospheric and beautifully-written. A deadly game of cat-and-mouse at the edge of the world.
Erin Kelly

I'm a huge Sharon Bolton fan, and this is her best yet
Lee Child

Nail-biting, heart-pounding suspense that leaps from one dizzying twist to another. THE SPLIT grips like permafrost.
JP Delaney

THE SPLIT is terrific: vivid, tense and superbly paced. A masterclass in using the setting to drive the plot, in Cambridge and icy South Georgia. Highly recommended.
Jane Casey

extremely entertaining [with] characters who have relationships that work
Literary Review - Natasha Cooper

Bolton's depiction of this stark, beautiful, remote wilderness is a balm to the soul in these restricted times and her complicated mystery a welcome diversion from reality.
The Observer, New Review - Alison Flood

A compulsive page-turner
Prima

The
remoteness of the location bestows a sense of brooding tension, which
is coupled to heart-stopping action sequences, making this into an
extraordinary
thriller. This is intelligent crime writing at its very best; not to be missed.

Atmospheric [...], a dark and disturbing page-turner.
