Daniel Aubrey is a former journalist whose previous jobs included writing for a local paper in Spain and working as a sub-editor at an international press agency in Hong Kong. Now living in Scotland, he has written his debut novel, Dark Island – a crime thriller about neurodivergent reporter, Freya Sinclair, who uncovers a disturbing conspiracy following the discovery of human remains on Orkney’s wild Atlantic coast.

”'With the hauntingly original backdrop of Orkney as a character in its own right, and enough twists and turns to keep the hardened thriller reader engrossed to its surprising end…[Dark Island is] a wholly satisfying reading experience. Freya Sinclair is a protagonist with mileage, and I cannot wait to see where she goes next.” -

Wiz Wharton, author of Ghost Girl, Banana (Hodder Studio, 2023) -

”'An unputdownable thriller. In Freya, we find a truly refreshing protagonist.” - Danielle Devlin, author of Burnt Offerings (Polygon, 2023)

”'Walking in Freya’s shoes helped me to better appreciate the impact ADHD has on my daughter’s daily life and what it, in reality, means for her…a truly enriching read.” - Anita Frank, author of The Lost Ones (HQ, 2019) and The Return (HQ, 2021)
