BLEED FOR MEBy Michael Robotham
In 'Bleed For Me' we welcome back Professor Joe O'Loughlin, the kindhearted clinical psychologist we first met in The Suspect and who played a support role in Lost. His Parkinson's disease has further advanced and life remains complicated and looks set to worsen. When Sienna Hegarty turns up at his family home one night, covered in blood and frozen in shock, Joe finds himself drawn deep into her world, trying to unearth the dark secrets locked inside her mind. The police find a major piece of the puzzle at Sienna's house: her father, a retired cop, is face-down in a pool of his own blood, his throat slashed and his skull caved in. The blood covering Sienna was his, but the 14-year-old can't remember what happened that night and chillingly doesn't mourn her father's death. Michael Robotham was born and raised in small towns in outback NSW and on the coast. At seventeen, a long held desire to write saw him take up a journalism cadetship which led to a successful career as an investigative journalist in Britain, Australia and the US. In 1993 he was commissioned to ghost-write the first of what came to be fifteen 'autobiographies' for personalities and well-known figures in the arts, politics, science, sport and the military. This meant collaborations with the likes of Rolf Harris, Lulu, Geri Halliwell, Tony Bullimore and Ricky Tomlinson to bring their stories to the page. Twelve of these books were to become Sunday Times bestsellers with combined sales of more than two million copies. In 2002 his first novel The Suspect became the centre of a bidding war at the London Book Fair while only a partial manuscript and has now been translated into 22 languages and TV rights sold to the BBC. His second novel Lost won the Ned Kelly Award for the Crime Book of the Year in 2005, given by the Australian Crime Writers Association. It was also shortlisted for the 2006 Barry Award for the Best British Novel published in the US in 2005. Michael's subsequent novels The Night Ferry and Shatter were both shortlisted for UK Crime Writers Association Steel Dagger in 2007 and 2008. Shatter was also shortlisted in the inaugural ITV3 Thriller Awards in the UK and for South Africa's Boeke Prize and in August 2008 Shatter won the Ned Kelly award for Australia's best crime novel.
