JP Delaney

JP Delaney is a pen name belonging to Tony Strong, who had already published thrillers under his own name and under one other. The Girl Before turns on a minimalist house whose architect landlord requires his tenants to live by a long list of rules, and on the two women who agree to them. Playing Nice concerns two families told that their babies were swapped at birth. He spent years in advertising, and both novels were adapted for television within a few years of publication.
