Kerry Wilkinson

Kerry Wilkinson is something of an accidental author. His debut novel, Locked In, the first title in the detective Jessica Daniel series, was written as a challenge to himself but, after self-publishing, it became a UK number one bestseller within three months of release. Kerry has a degree in journalism and works for a national media company. He was born in Somerset but now lives in Lancashire.
