About the book

***Winner of the Lindisfarne Prize for Crime Fiction***

YOUR HUSBAND HAS BEEN ARRESTED.
Maggie's husband is suddenly arrested in the middle of the night, on suspicion of murder.
When Grant dies in custody, her world implodes.

EVERYONE BELIEVES HE IS GUILTY.
All the evidence points to Grant being a killer - including DNA at the scene.
But how can this be true when he was with Maggie all night?

ONLY YOU CAN PROVE THEM WRONG.
Following a trail of deception, it's up to her to uncover the truth.
But Maggie has a secret too. Something she hasn't told anyone.

She was with her husband all night - apart from one missing hour...

Robert Rutherford

Robert Rutherford had a random mix of jobs before taking the dive into crime writing; he's been a bookseller, pizza deliverer, karate instructor, football coach, and HR Manager. He lives on the North East Coast with his wife, children & overly-needy dog, and is a founding member of the Northern Crime Syndicate crime-writers group.

Seven Days, a high-concept thriller, due out on 11th April 2024, is the first in a two book deal with Hodder.

He also writes as Robert Scragg, with "What Falls Between The Cracks", the first in his Porter & Styles series, written under Robert Scragg, being chose as a New Writing North pick as one of the 2019 Read Regional books of the year. Rob’s work has also seen him win the Lindisfarne Prize for Crime Fiction in 2021, as well as being shortlisted for a CWA Dagger in 2021 and 2022.
