Der Perlentaucher unter den Buchläden Eichendorff21

**C. J. Tudor's** love of writing, especially the dark and macabre, started young. When her peers were reading Judy Blume, she was devouring Stephen King and James Herbert. Over the years she has had a variety of jobs, including trainee reporter, radio scriptwriter, dog walker, voiceover artist, television presenter, copywriter and, now, author. C. J. Tudor's first novel, _The Chalk Man_ , was a _Sunday Times_ bestseller and sold in over forty countries. Her second novel, _The Taking of Annie Thorne_ , was also a _Sunday Times_ bestseller as was her third novel, _The Other People_. All three books are in development for TV. Her fourth novel, _The Burning Girls_ , was a Richard and Judy Book Club selection and has been adapted for television by award-winning screenwriter Hans Rosenfeldt (creator of _The Bridge_ and _Marcella_). It will debut on Paramount Plus in 2023. _The Drift_ is her fifth novel and has also been optioned for the screen. C.J. Tudor is also the author of _A Sliver of Darkness_ , a collection of short stories. She lives in Sussex with her family. Twitter @CJTudor Facebook @CJTudorOfficial
