Inga Vesper is a journalist and editor. She moved to the UK from Germany to work as a carer, before the urge to write and explore brought her to journalism. As a reporter, she covered the coroner's court and was able to observe how family, neighbours and police react to a suspicious death. Inga has worked in Syria and Tanzania, but now lives in Glasgow, because there's no better way to find a good story than eavesdropping on the chatter in a Scottish cafe on a rainy day.
Inga Vesper's debut, The Long, Long Afternoon, was an atmospheric crime story set in 1950s American suburbia. In this second outing, she returns to the theme of the American dream souring . . . Vesper is immensely readable on the three women's different lives, and the constraints put upon them by society. Glitter is particularly well drawn; the idea of free love is abused by the men around her, yet she persists in her belief in hippy ideals. * Sunday Times * A thrilling, haunting and darkly beautiful story. This Wild, Wild Country enchants as mysteries deepen and secrets echo over the harsh realities of the American Dream. * Chris Whitaker, bestselling author of We Begin at the End * Just as compelling and beautifully written as The Long, Long Afternoon. I simply could not put it down! * Alex Gray *
