Casey Kelleher is a British crime writer from West Sussex who has been publishing gritty thrillers since 2012. Her debut novel Rotten to the Core was self-published while she was still working as a beauty therapist, and its strong reception let her turn to writing full time. She cites Martina Cole and Mandasue Heller as early influences, and that lineage shows in her work: tough characters, dark family dynamics, and London streets that feel lived in.

Kelleher’s books include the Byrne Family trilogy, which tracks a violent Soho crime dynasty across three generations, and the DC Lucy Murphy series, which follows a young detective investigating crimes on a notorious London housing estate. Her standalone novels cover everything from kidnappings and missing children to psychological mind games. Readers who like their crime fiction raw and hard-hitting will find plenty to get through in her back catalog of nineteen books.
