Gemma Walker is an author and playwright from the West Midlands, UK. The Judge, the Jailer and the Thief is her first novel, and Sad Eyes on Happy Faces is her first play.
A fast-paced, emotionally charged heist thriller, with strong female characters, dealing with themes of self-acceptance, revenge, connection, second chances and redemption.
Alex has a plan for a heist. She’s had it for years and so after her release from prison, it’s the perfect time to carry it out. There’s a secret vault on the top floor of the most prestigious building in the city and she knows how to crack it, but it has to be now…
She must rebuild relationships with the people she lost while she was inside and convince them to help, all whilst being chased by a disgraced cop whose case from years before is being scrutinised as the now notorious thief he put away, who always maintained his innocence, died in prison on the same day Alex was released.
The barrister of the historic case is now an ambitious high court judge who attempts to side-step the scrutiny as she supports her long-term girlfriend, the architect of the prestigious building as she prepares to host the 20th anniversary celebration of it being built.
All three of them will cross paths, uncover truths about what happened all that time ago, and find out if it will impact Alex’s plan, and the outcome of her carefully crafted, meticulous heist.
The Judge, the Jailer and the Thief is out now worldwide on Amazon in paperback and ebook.
