Loraine Peck

From magician’s assistant to crime novelist, it’s all about mastering the art of subterfuge for Loraine Peck, whose love of crime fiction propelled her to write the kind of book she loves to read. 

Loraine survived cancer twice so she could create her dream career as a crime fiction writer and now she gets to decide who is going to die.

The Second Son, Loraine’s debut novel, won the 2021 Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction from the Australian Crime Writers Association. It was shortlisted for two Davitt Awards by Sisters in Crime and for a Danger Award by BAD Crime Sydney. 

The Double Bind, the sequel to The Second Son, will be out in April 2023.
