THE MAN IN FOREST HILLS

Being a detective in the city of Boston is no easy task, and with the crime rate sky high, law enforcement is the only hope of getting things back in order.

Julia was born and raised in the lovely historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, where she still lives with her daughter. She has been writing ever since she was old enough to pick up a pen, writing plays for my friends to act out at break time. She attempted her first novel at age thirteen. Of course, due to her age and lack of exp
