Caro Ramsay

The Govan-born osteopath and acupuncturist runs a large and successful osteopath centre in the west of Scotland. In between treating patients - both human and animal - she writes dark and gruesome crime thrillers set in Glasgow. She volunteers at a local animal rescue centre, using complementary therapies to heal a wide range of animals, and considers herself to be something of a 'fox whisperer'.

Ramsay started writing her first novel while laid up in hospital with a back injury. She is a member of the Johnstone Writers' Club. Absolution was recently published by Penguin as part of a two-book, five-figure contract. The second novel, Singing to the Dead, was published in 2009.
