Come and Meet Michael Robotham : It is a matter of LIFE OR DEATH
Life or Death
A chilling psychological thriller from “the grand master of this dark genre” “It is ten years since my first novel
THE SUSPECT was published – a book that changed my life because it allowed me to become a fulltime writer.
Since then I’ve produced a book a year, hoping to make each one better than the last.
Now I’m releasing LIFE OR DEATH, a story that I’ve nurtured and turned over in my mind for more than twenty years
– ever since I read a newspaper account of a man who had a served a long prison sentence, but escaped the day
before he was due to be released. Why, I asked myself, what could possibly be the reason?
It took me years to come up with an answer and even longer before I felt I had the skills to tell the story properly.
I needed to learn. I needed to get better.
That’s why I’m so excited about LIFE OR DEATH. It’s a love story and a prison story and a heart-stopping account
of one man’s refusal to surrender.
More importantly, it’s the book that I was meant to write.”
