Kathrin Wilhelmy, born in 1987, works as an author, theatre actress and acting lecturer. She began her writing career by penning short stories and young adult novels, the latter of which were published under a pseudonym by Oetinger Verlag. Since her youth, she has devoured suspense in a wide variety of formats, and now that her own ideas have been knocking ever louder, she can hardly wait to lure her readers down the wrong track and keep them breathlessly on the edge of their seats with her thriller debut. The author lives with her family near Trier.
