Early life and career

Carol Ann Lee was born in Wakefield, West Riding of Yorkshire. She studied History of Art and Design at university in Manchester and then followed her early interest, interviewing Holocaust survivors and working at the Manchester Jewish Museum.[2] Her first book was published three years later.[3]

Her tenth book, Evil Relations (2012), was nominated for the Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger Award for Non-Fiction. Written in conjunction with David Smith, chief prosecution witness in the Moors Murders case it details, for the first time, Smith's story in full.

In 2012, Lee published A Fine Day for a Hanging, a reexamination of Ruth Ellis's life story and the facts surrounding her trial for the murder of David Blakely and subsequent execution.[4]

She is published by Mainstream Publishing, an imprint of Random House.
