THE AUTHORS

KELLY BROOKE

NICHOLLS

Kelly Brooke Nicholls’ fascination with other cultures was instilled
in her early years growing up on a boat in the south pacific islands.
She’s been passionate about human rights from an early age
and following a stint as a journalist at Australian Associated Press
she moved to Latin America when she was 23. From there she
was compelled to make a difference and help people affected by
conflict, abuse and extreme poverty. She has over 15 years’ senior
leadership experience working for NGOs ranging from Medecins
Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders to a small
indigenous-led organisation in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

An intelligent thriller filled with human drama, reminiscent of William Boyd’s Restless. From the dark heart of The Troubles, The Cleanskin is a story of intense human relationships with a cast of flawed and entirely believable characters.
