"COLD JUSTICE races like a speeding ambulance, delivering so many surprises and thrills that you'll scarcely have time to breathe. This was one of my favorite books of the year. Katherine Howell has written a real winner!" Tess Gerritsen
Katherine is an ex-paramedic now bestselling author whose thrillers feature Sydney police detective Ella Marconi alongside paramedics. Her debut novel Frantic was published by Pan Macmillan in 2007 to critical acclaim.

The books are published internationally, in print, e-book, and audio form, and in translation. Reviewers have described the work as:
"a ripper of a yarn, told with verve and feeling for the characters and place. Howell is a natural storyteller" Courier-Mail
“an adrenaline rush of a thriller … I can’t wait for more” Sydney Morning Herald
"An Australian author with a book that would not disgrace Lisa Gardner or Karin Slaughter, a real nerve-twisting, hold-on-tight thriller." Peterborough Evening Telegraph (UK)
"Howell writes short, tight scenes with authentic-sounding dialogue and relentless pacing. Howell deftly illustrates the way insights into the ways of life and death are a new religion to crime readers." Weekend Australian.
“A finely paced and engrossing second novel by this talented Australian writer” The Guardian (UK)
“Author Katherine Howell is a former Sydney paramedic and is set to do for that profession what US author Patricia Cornwell did for forensic pathologists.” Barking and Dagenham Recorder (UK)
