Lethal Profit

Inspired by the ordered and logical approach of Henning Mankell's heroes, combined with the action of a Harlan Coben thriller and the conspiracy undertones of a Robert Ludlum plot She is caught up in a tangle of deception he left behind, facing violent assault, brutal murderers and deeply embedded corporate corruption. At the heart of it is a dirty biotech business making a lethal profit from compromising human health. Behind that, an organisation with a devastating viral blackmail tool. Their targets? Global power, capital and manipulation. And Eva.

Alex Blackmore was born in north London, raised in Somerset, and returned to her spiritual home in the north of the capital after a stint at Nottingham University and a year or so of wanderlust. Writing has always been one of Alex's passions and her love for a fast paced thriller is what drove her to start producing her own. Lethal Profit was published by No Exit in 2013 and Killing Eva is due for release as an Ebook in July 2015 and in print in November 2015. Her style draws on the influences of her literary heroes - such as Henning Mankell, who kindly provided input on Lethal Profit - as well as an interest in the issues that shape our contemporary world and the love of a good goose bumps moment. Today, Alex is based between London, Winchester and various planes, trains and automobiles.
