UK-raised B.C. author drags British characters into the wilds of his adopted home

Kerry Wilkinson, an author based in British Columbia since relocating from the U.K. In 2015, penned The Call, a psychological thriller primarily set on Vancouver Island.
Wilkinson chose Vancouver Island’s vast, largely untouched landscape as the setting because it enabled a search story not possible in the U.K.
The Call follows British tourist Melody who, after her son Evan disappears during a distress call, searches a darker, more complicated island than she expected.
Wilkinson, author of more than 30 books and initially recognized as a U.K. Kindle bestseller, shared that just a short stroll into the forest leads to a place that feels like the middle of nowhere, and said he is truly pleased by the novel’s nomination.
Kerry Wilkinson’s novel The Call is among the top five contenders for the award recognizing the best crime novel situated in Canada at the Crime Writers of Canada Awards, with the winners to be revealed on May 30, 2025.
