Person
Lucy Martin spent ten years as a city lawyer before leaving to set up a language school and become a writer. Like her protagonist, women's rights have always been important to her: in 2000, she wrote an article for The Times on sexual discrimination in law firms, something she had spent many years fighting, before setting up Wimbledon Women in Business to support female entrepreneurs. The Choice is the second in the DS Ronnie Delmar series, following Stop at Nothing, which was published by Welbeck in 2021. Lucy lives in Wimbledon with her family.
