      How do you solve a crime when the victim doesn't believe you have the right to exist?   Robyn Bailley has taken a big step. At the age of forty-four, the Detective Inspector has come out as a trans woman. Unfortunately, the day she chooses to return to work in her new identity is the same day a child goes missing from a shopping centre so everyone is looking at her. With little Ben's mother not hiding her disapproval, Robyn also has to deal with the reactions from her family, colleagues and the media. During the frantic hunt, Robyn has to keep her team working under the intense scrutiny. Then a body is found.   Set in 2016, examines the challenges of gender dysphoria in an enlightened way, showing the difficulties for the transgender community through a protagonist under scrutiny and coming to terms with her new identity. This is a cracking good read set in a contemporary fictional town in Kent. (David Caddy, Tears in the Fence)   Huge potential as a choice for reading groups, particularly as there is so much contemporary interest, and controversy, about the subject of gender dysphoria. (Nudge Books)   Overall… Clare's book is the best crime fiction discovery of the year for me and I'm rushing out to buy the sequel. (Brian Clegg)

      Can you truly know what it's like to be a woman? Detective Inspector Robyn Bailley is feeling more comfortable, six weeks after coming out as a trans woman. Then, the cousin of one of her team falls from the balcony of a hotel during a family wedding. It could be suicide but there are worrying signs of assault. The incident inflames local women, including questioning whether Robyn should even be involved in such an investigation.   At the same time, Robyn is trying to rebuild a relationship with her own daughter. Trying to sort the truth from the lies, Robyn puts herself into deadly danger.   She's Gone really is all action: Clare handles a complex plot and a large cast of characters with a deftness and economy that put many much more established authors to shame, and I don't think I am giving too much away by saying the end is a shocker. With She's Gone Clare joins the front rank of British crime writers. I can't wait to read more about DI Bailley. (Amazon review)

    After twenty years as an office worker who jotted down stories on her commute, Alex Clare was made redundant. With impeccable timing, she then saw an article in her local paper for a writing group, meeting in the library. With a regular source of feedback and inspiration, she began work on her series of novels featuring DI Robyn Bailley, a trans woman detective inspector. Now working again, she’s back writing in her normal place on the morning train.
