Sam Holland is the award-winning author of the Major Crimes series, following detectives as they investigate murders committed by brutal serial killers in the south of England.

Her debut, The Echo Man, shocked and enthralled readers and reviewers alike with its sinister depiction of a serial killer copying notorious real-life murderers of the past. This was followed by The Twenty in 2023 and the third, The Puppet Master, in 2024. The Countdown Killer is out now.

She also writes as Louisa Scarr.
