Clare Francis is a British author who made her name first as a yachtswoman and then as a novelist. In the late 1970s she published three non-fiction books about her sailing experiences, including Come Hell Or High Water (1977) and Woman Alone (1977), documenting her solo and crewed Atlantic crossings.
She turned to fiction in the 1980s with Night Sky (1983), a World War II thriller, and went on to write eleven standalone novels through 2008. Her fiction covers espionage, environmental conspiracy, psychological suspense, and domestic thrillers. Wolf Winter (1987) deals with Cold War tensions in Norway, Requiem (1989) tackles pesticide corruption, and later books like A Dark Devotion (1997) and A Death Divided (2001) explore disappearances and family secrets.
