Mercedes Mercier is author of the electric debut novel "White Noise" published by HarperCollins Australia earlier this year.
Drawn from Mercedes' real-life experiences working in the Australian corrections system for almost a decade, "White Noise" is a triumph of a novel.
I was utterly mesmerised by the world Mercedes created - exploring the ongoing effects of trauma and addiction and offering a chilling insight into the mind of a psychopath.
A brilliant read for lovers of crime and psychological thrillers.
Tune into the fabulous chat I recorded with Mercedes a little while back.
