About
the Author:
Wendy
H. Jones lives in Scotland, and her police procedural series featuring
Detective Inspector Shona McKenzie, is set in the beautiful city of Dundee,
Scotland. Wendy has led a varied and adventurous life. Her love for adventure
led to her joining the Royal Navy to undertake nurse training. After six years
in the Navy she joined the Army where she served as an Officer for a further 17
years. This took her all over the world including Europe, the Middle East and
the Far East. Much of her spare time is now spent travelling around the UK, and
lands much further afield. As well as nursing Wendy also worked for many years
in Academia. This led to publication in academic textbooks and journals.
Killer's Countdown is her first novel and the first book in the Shona McKenzie
Mystery series
