  She opened her mouth to scream, but he slapped something across her lips. The gag tasted of salt and mould, rough sacking on her tongue. 
   
  With a terrifying certainty, she knew she was going to die. 
   
  DI Geraldine Steel knows people go missing all the time; sometimes because they don't want to be found. So when her partner Ian asks her to look into the disappearance of his football-buddy's girlfriend, her first instinct is to reassure him there's no need for concern. 
   
  Until she's called to a suspected murder, and all her instincts tell her she's right about the identity of the victim. 
   
  The young woman has earth and leaf mould and fragments of twigs in her long fair hair, her nose, her mouth, under her finger nails, clinging to her clothes. It's as if she'd been completely encased in earth. And yet she was found on the pavement, at the side of a suburban road, where she wasn't in contact with any soil or mud. 
   
  Had she managed to escape a living grave? 
   
  Without a crime scene, the investigation focuses on her boyfriend. But Ian insists his friend is incapable of murder, and Steel is torn. Without evidence, she knows their case is weak. But without evidence, can she let a possible killer go free? 
   
  She needs to find out what really happened. Where did the assault occur? Why are there traces of DNA from two other unidentified sources on the body? What reason could there be to attack a popular young woman who never did anyone any harm? And why bury her body so carelessly that she was able to escape? 
   
  Then another young woman is reported missing. Unless he has an accomplice, they have an innocent man in custody. And Steel is running out of time . . .

  George Chetwynd Griffith-Jones was born on 20th August, 1857, in Plymouth, South-West England to a clergyman father who was frequently moved to different parishes.   
   
  Although Griffith did briefly attend school there were only limited funds to provide a formal education for him and his elder brother.  Consequently, they were primarily home schooled with their father teaching them Latin and Greek and their mother, French.  There was also an extensive family library which Griffith devoured. 
   
  At 15 he joined a ship as an apprentice but deserted when it arrived in Australia to travel around for 4 years before working his passage back to England.  
   
  He settled in Sussex, to teach English at a prep school and studied at night to gain formal qualifications.  After a further year of study at a German university he taught in Brighton but now his passion for writing also led him to journalism.  He contributed to various pamphlets, newspaper and periodicals, writing on secularism and socialism as well as travelogues, volumes of poetry and, of course, short stories.  His vivid writing style and knack for storytelling paved the way for his success as a novelist.  
   
  In 1893, Griffith published his first novel, ‘The Angel of the Revolution’, an instant success of dystopia featuring advanced aerial warfare and anarchist revolutionaries.  Griffith's output of over a dozen novels and numerous short stories influenced later science fiction writers and left a lasting legacy in place.  He also wrote romance, adventure and supernatural stories. 
   
  His writing was not always successful, and he often faced personal and financial difficulties. 
   
  George Griffith died at his home in Port Erin, Isle of Man of cirrhosis of the liver on 10th June, 1906.  He was 48.

  One street, ten doors, who’s the killer? 
  The street that contains No.4 is a dark place, secrets linger and whispers of a murder haunt it. The residents have learnt to live with its sinister past, but when one of their own returns to hunt for the truth, their welcome is far from warm… 
  Fifteen years ago, 35-year-old Henry Carr vanished outside his parents' house on a run-down street in Manchester. 
  Today, a cold case podcast has brought the disappearance to international attention. 
  Now, a young journalist hopes that she might be able to get the locals to open up. After all, she was one of them. But returning won't be easy; there are many reasons why Ruth fled six years ago. 
  There’s minimal evidence, no body and a street in silence. Yet Henry’s elderly and dementia suffering mother, Marianne, appears haunted. She whispers and screams that her son was killed and buried on the street they call home. 
  With the anniversary of Henry’s disappearance fast approaching, Ruth has just days to uncover the truth of what happened to the man she once knew. The more Ruth learns, the more she comes to understand: 
  It might take a street to keep a secret, but it takes just one woman to set it free… 
  Ruth, the amateur sleuth, is determined to uncover the truth. As she navigates through the top secrets of the street, she realises that the fiction she once believed might be far from reality. 
  For fans of Claire Mcgowan (Blood Tide), Lauren North (My Word Against His), Erin Kinsley (Someone You Know), K.L. Slater (The Girlfriend), and Tm Logan (The Daughter).

  On 17th October, 1678, Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey, a justice of the peace, is discovered dead in a ditch at Primrose Hill, run through with his own sword. Suicide or murder? This has been the historian's dilemma for three centuries. King Charles II had awarded Godfrey a knighthood for his bravery following the great plague and the fire of London. But is Godfrey all he appears to be? During his final days, Godfrey confesses to friends that he is master of a great secret and will be hanged. Titus Oates, arguably the most audacious liar history has ever known, had visited Godfrey claiming to have discovered a Jesuit plot to assassinate King Charles II and overthrow Parliament. Following a £500 reward from the King for information about Godfrey's death, murderers are named and Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Naval Office, discovers that he has an enemy who has accused him of orchestrating Godfrey's murder. He must seek the truth to save himself.
  Readers will accompany Mr Pepys to coffee houses, taverns, palaces, to his home where his marriage is in crisis, to Newgate prison, and to the trials of men who are accused of murdering Godfrey. Who lies and who is telling the truth? Who killed Edmund Godfrey?
