Suspects

Lesley Pearse is the author of a vast body of work published worldwide and one of the favorite writers of the Portuguese public. Her own life is a great source of inspiration for her novels. Whether she is writing about the pain of first love, unwanted and mistreated children, adoption, poverty, or ambition, she has experienced it all firsthand. Lesley is a fighter, and the stability and success she has achieved in her life she owes to writing. With the support of Penguin Publishing, she created the Women of Courage Award to distinguish ordinary women endowed with extraordinary courage.
