"I returned day after day after day and walked the length of the promenade taking in the spectacular views across the bay.
"It wasn't long before I decided I to set my future books in and around this area and with an idea for a standalone thriller bubbling in my head, I began writing."
Behind Closed Doors is described as a heart-pounding story concerning the kidnapping of a journalist's stepdaughter, which forces her to face up to her own dark past.
