About the Author

Author Stephen Hudson

The author of Silent Tracks: Murder on the Mountain brings a strong appreciation for atmospheric crime fiction, combining psychological depth with vividly drawn settings. With a keen eye for character behaviour and emotional tension, the author focuses on stories where motive, environment, and human weakness intersect.

Inspired by alpine landscapes and European investigative traditions, the writing reflects a preference for intelligent pacing, strong female protagonists, and mysteries driven by observation rather than spectacle. Silent Tracks marks the beginning of a crime series centred on Inspector Klara Hartmann and her investigations within the Austrian Alps.
