Mo Hayder wrote some of the most terrifying crime thrillers you will ever read. Her first novel, Birdman, was hailed as a 'first-class shocker' by the Guardian and her follow-up, The Treatment was voted by The Times as one of 'the top ten most scary thrillers ever written'. In 2012 Gone won the Edgar Allen Poe Award and her novel Wolf was nominated for Best Novel in the 2015 Edgar Awards, and is currently being adapted for the BBC. Mo's books are 100% authentic, drawing on her long research association with several UK police forces and on her personal encounters with criminals and prostitutes. She left school at 15 and worked as a barmaid, security guard, English teacher, and even a hostess in a Tokyo club. She had an MA in film from the American University in Washington DC and an MA in creative writing from Bath Spa University. Mo Hayder was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2020 and passed away in July 2021.
