'Keep Her Safe': Sophie Hannah's tale of too many coincidences

Sophie Hannah needs little introduction. She is a well-established, bestselling author whose books have been translated into more than 30 languages in over 50 countries. You may know her for the award winning The Carrier or for her Hercule Poirot mysteries. Whichever, the name will be familiar, as will perhaps her reputation for complex plots.
