Behind You

Linda Regan is a successful actress having worked in all media from television to film, radio, and theatre. She has published eight crime novels, all critically acclaimed.


Her books are set in London, where she was born and brought up. She has shadowed police and seen, first hand, crime being committed. Her books have been described as 'strong crime'. She writes about what is happening currently and weaves her stories around that. Some have a theatrical flavour too, because this is another area she knows well.


She believes books should be entertaining, truthful, and page-turning. Reviewers often mention how well her characters are drawn. Characters take the story along and, with her acting experience, she has spent her life inventing them.

The police soon uncover dark secrets lurking beneath the glamour of the stage. As the investigation gets under way rivalries, grudges and illicit liaisons begin to surface and it becomes clear that the dressing rooms are a hotbed of vicious resentments.

A second body leaves Banham in no doubt a dangerous killer is on the loose. It may be Christmas, but one of the cast certainly isn't full of goodwill to all men...
