Most of Rachel Paris's life has been devoted to building a spectacular career in commercial law, from earning a masters degree at Harvard to becoming one of the youngest ever partners at top New Zealand law firm  Bell Gully. 

But during Covd-19 she left corporate law to undertake a masters in creative writing at the University of Auckland. 

Now, she has realised a childhood dream of becoming an author with the publication of "See How They Fall." 

The thriller has already garnered comparisons with the TV series "Succession" and interest from Hollywood.
