The latest novel by former Keighley woman Sophie Hannah has been published in paperback.

Sophie, who lived in Utley until a couple of years ago, has received critical acclaim for her psychological thriller, The Carrier.

The novel is the eighth to feature cop duo Simon Waterhouse and Charlie Zailer, who also appeared in TV crime series Case Sensitive.

In The Carrier, businesswoman Gaby Struthers is forced to spend the night with a terrified young woman, Lauren Cookson, after their plane is delayed.

Lauren tells Gaby her actions sent an innocent man to prison for a murder he didn’t commit -- a man Gaby is in love with.

The apparent coincidence leads to a complex mystery that Simon and Charlie have to unravel.
