About Manda Scott

Manda Scott is a veterinary surgeon , writer and climber , not necessarily in that order . Born and educated in Scotland , she trained at the Glasgow Vet School and now lives and works in Suffolk , sharing her life with two lurchers and other assorted wildlife . She is known primarily as a crime writer . Her first novel , Hen's Teeth , hailed by Fay Weldon as ' a new voice for a new world ' was shortlisted for the 1997 Orange Prize . Her subsequent novels , Night Mares , Stronger Than Death and No Good Deed , for which she was hailed as ' one of Britain's most important crime writers ' by The Times , are published by Headline .

Very good condition - some very slight creasing and scuffing to the dust jacket - a nice copy .
