Caroline Carver

Caroline Carver (born 1959) is an author. Her debut novel, "Blood Junction" (published in 2002), won the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Award.

Caroline (CJ) Carver's novels have been published in the UK, the USA and throughout Europe, and critically acclaimed in publications such as The Telegraph, The Observer and The Times.

Her latest novel "Gone Without Trace", a thriller about human trafficking, has been described as "a terrific page-turner" by Harlan Coben (May 2007), and "an exciting adventure" by the Literary Review (August 2007). In December 2007, the TLS said: "Well-researched, shocking, moving and exciting, "Gone Without Trace" shows that a British writer can take on the most vigorous of the Americans." Lee Child, one of the top thriller writers in the world, commented: "Hard, fast and read - a solid 'A' grade thriller with a tremendous story and a great lead character." (July 2007).

Caroline has experienced thrills and spills herself. In 1992, she took part in the London to Saigon Motoring Challenge, where she and her co-driver were the only all-female crew on a 63-day, 12,500-mile journey. In 1993, she fell into freelance writing and, since then, has worked locally while travelling and writing. She has driven London to Cape Town and put another 14,000 miles of rallying roads under her belt through South America. She blames her love of adventure on her parents, her mother set the land speed record in Australia and her father was a jet fighter pilot.
