Catherine Shepherd

Catherine Shepherd is an international publishing phenomenon with over 4 million books sold worldwide. Her nerve-shredding thrillers regularly top bestseller charts and have earned a devoted global fanbase.

Shepherd specializes in gripping crime fiction driven by strong, complex female leads. Her bestselling Julia Schwarz series follows a forensic pathologist known as the "Ice Lady"—a brilliant medical examiner who maintains her composure in the sterile autopsy room but stops at nothing to unlock the final secrets of the dead.

She is also the author of the Laura Kern series, featuring a special investigator facing high-stakes crimes, and a unique medieval thriller series that masterfully intertwines medieval mysteries with modern-day investigations.

When she isn't writing, Shepherd is already plotting her next deadly twist.
