Lucy Clarke was inspired to write The Hike after spending five days trekking through the wild, rugged beauty of Norway with a tent on her back. She is the author of seven other destination thrillers, which have sold more than a million copies around the world, including One of the Girls, The Castaways, and The Blue, which has been filmed as a major international TV series (titled No Escape) for Paramount+. When Clarke isn’t away on research trips (her favorite part of the job!), she can be found writing from a beach hut on the south coast of England, where she lives with her husband and their two children.
