When Dr Tess Gerritsen was on maternity leave from her job as a physician in Hawaii, she took the chance to try to fulfil a lifelong dream to become a writer. It was something she achieved with spectacular success. Over 40 million copies of her novels have been sold in 40 countries. As well as writing a number of stunning standalones, she is the creator of the Rizzoli and Isles series which was made into a hit US TV series. The hugely popular pairing of homicide detective and medical examiner are back this July and in top form in what is sure to be Gerritsen’s latest bestseller, the riveting Listen To Me. Tess Gerritsen will be interviewed by bestselling author SJ Watson.
