For anyone who dreams of a bestseller, Matthew Blake's (45) story is a mouthwatering read. After studying English, he went to work as a speechwriter for the British Parliament. In his spare time, he wrote his first thriller. After submitting Anna O, his publisher received sixteen international bids within 48 hours. "A real pinch-me moment," he says. The sequel, Murder in Room 11, has now been published in Dutch.
