Sophy Smythe is the author of fast-paced thrillers that explore the dark intersection of medicine, technology, and power.
A former doctor with a background in the medical industry, Smythe’s work is known for blending emotional depth with scientific accuracy and cinematic tension. Her breakout novel, The Medical Code, has been praised for its chillingly realistic take on unethical research in healthcare and global pharmaceutical corruption.
In her upcoming thriller, The Troublemaker (October 9, 2025), Doctor Charlie Martens thinks exposing tainted medicine would save lives. Instead, it triggered a conspiracy that might end hers.
Sophy lives in Antwerp with her two dogs, and a stack of FOIA files. She is currently working on The Hellraiser, the next installment in her medical thriller universe.
For readers who enjoy Dan Brown, Robin Cook, and smart thrillers with a conscience.
