Alice Clark-Platts

Alice Clark-Platts is a British author and former human rights lawyer who brings her legal expertise to her crime fiction. She worked for the charity Justice and as a criminal barrister before turning to writing, and her novels are informed by a deep understanding of the justice system and its complexities. Bitter Fruits is the first in her DI Erica Martin series, a gripping police procedural set in Durham that combines psychological insight with taut plotting. Clark-Platts writes crime fiction that is intelligent, character-driven and rooted in real-world issues. Her audiobooks and books are excellent for listeners who enjoy crime fiction with substance — stories that explore the human dimensions of justice as much as the mechanics of detection.
