Synopsis

In "Midnight In Beauchamp Row," Anna Katharine Green masterfully weaves a gripping narrative rich with intrigue and psychological nuance. Set against the backdrop of Victorian New York, the novel explores themes of betrayal, identity, and social mores through its complex characters and a carefully constructed plot that maintains suspense until the final reveal. Green's distinctive literary style, characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a sophisticated use of language, reflects the era's conventions while also challenging its limitations, particularly in her treatment of female characters who defy societal expectations. Anna Katharine Green, often hailed as the 'mother of detective fiction,' drew from her own experiences and deep understanding of the legal system to craft compelling mysteries that resonate with authenticity. As one of the first female contributors to the genre, Green's work often reflected her feminist ideals and keen observations of societal dynamics, which undoubtedly influenced her portrayal of characters grappling with the constraints of their time. Her pioneering contributions set a precedent for future writers, making her an essential figure in the evolution of detective literature. "Midnight In Beauchamp Row" is a must-read for enthusiasts of mystery and historical fiction alike. With its intricately woven plot and richly developed characters, it invites readers to immerse themselves in a world of deception and moral complexity. Green's profound insights and elegant prose not only entertain but also provoke thought about the intricacies of human behavior, making this novel a significant addition to any literary collection.

    The BRAND NEW, action-packed Ryker thriller from million-copy bestselling author Rob Sinclair. 
    His past is coming back with a vengeance… 
    Ex-intelligence agent James Ryker has done many things in the past he’d prefer to forget. The last time he saw Gregor Minko - son to one of Ukraine’s most dangerous and politically influential arms dealers – Gregor was a scared 6-year-old boy in need of protection. But Ryker had to walk away. The boy wasn’t the mission. 
    Twenty years on Ryker is approached by two strangers in Antibes, France, asking for his help in finding Gregor – now going by the name of Gregor Rebrov. With a back catalogue of ‘crimes against the Russian state’, Gregor has escaped from a gulag in Siberia and is now in the wind. 
    Fuelled by old demons and painful memories of his own brutal actions in the past, Ryker finds himself once again in the thick of a complicated race against time and who knows how many of the world’s secret services, to find Gregor and get some answers. 
    As answers turn into more questions, they lead Ryker closer to home… and he can’t shake the feeling that he may be to blame. 
    A brand new high-stakes thriller. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Robert Ludlum.
