A K Turner's latest foray into crime fiction is Body Language, the first in a new series which has been described as a fresh take on the forensic pathology genre. The heroine is crime-solving goth-girl mortuary technician Cassie Raven, who originally appeared in two crime shorts on BBC Radio 4. A K previously wrote under the pen name Anya Lipska and her debut trilogy featuring a Polish tough guy/fixer to London's Poles led to her appearing on the Festival's New Blood panel. Ali also produces TV documentaries telling stories drawn from the worlds of science, archaeology, and true crime.

Blackly humorous, we're so ready for more' - HEAT magazine on Body Language 'Hooked from the first chapter and stayed up until the wee small hours to finish Body Language. What a wonderful creation is Cassie Raven! You should all go out and pre-order it right now. Excellent fun, compulsive and Cassie Raven is a protagonist I want to meet again soon. Five stars!' - James Oswald on Body Language 'An immersive world with a fascinating lead, this makes for a fresh and exciting new series' - Claire McGowan on Body Language
