From magician’s assistant to crime novelist, it’s all about mastering the art of subterfuge to Loraine Peck, whose love of crime fiction propelled her to write the kind of book she loves to read. The Double Bind is the sequel to Loraine’s debut novel, The Second Son, which won the 2021 Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction from the Australian Crime Writers Association. It was shortlisted for two Davitt Awards by Sisters in Crime and for a Danger Award by BAD Crime Sydney. Loraine and her husband spend their time between Sydney and the Gold Coast.
