Sinopsis

'A slew of satisfying narrative twists' Barry Forshaw, Crime Time
It appeared that Helen McAllister – for whatever reason – had simply got out of the car sometime the previous morning, taking her keys and bag and phone with her, and walked away…
Ten years later there has been no trace found of the teacher who went missing from a small village on the last day of the school year.
Her lover Alice Hauser's accusations of impropriety on the part of the senior investigating officer, DI Thomas Maitland, led to his early retirement, his life in disrepair.
Maitland now lives alone, consumed with grief over the death of his wife two years ago.
Then he's involved in a road accident in which a man is killed. The victim's twin, John, is convinced that Maitland is to blame for his brother's death.
And when John meets Alice, they are determined that Maitland should pay the price they demand of him…

    Lambda Literary Award-winning author delves into the sudden and extraordinary wave of gay-bashing in 1940s Philadelphia. 
     
     
     
    It's steaming August in post-war Philadelphia. Clifford Waterman, dishonorably discharged from the Army for "an indecent act with a native" in Cairo, can't go back to his job as a police detective and is struggling to make a go of it as a private investigator. He's soon hired to help a young man caught in a gay bar raid who can't afford the $500 bribe a corrupt judge demands to make a "morals charge" go away. 
     
     
     
    In the blink of an eye, an entire gay neighborhood is suddenly under siege, and Waterman has to find out why the cops, courts, and the city powers that be have unleashed a wave of brutal gay-bashing—astonishing even for that time and place. 
     
     
     
    Kept moving by Jim Beam, bluesy jazz, and a stubborn sense of outsider's pride, Waterman makes his way through Philadelphia's social, political, and financial swamp to rescue a few unlucky souls and inflict at least a bit of damage to the rotten system that would lead to the Stonewall rebellion in New York City twenty-two years later.

    “Ripe with truths, secrets and lies, The Secret Wound is a beautifully conjured story of the depths of the human heart.” —Richard Rohr, New York Times-bestselling author

    In the seemingly tranquil ex-pat community of Mallorca, a dangerous secret lies buried and a murderer hides in plain sight. 
     
    When a member of the community fears their dark and deadly secret will be exposed, they plan to murder a fellow ex-pat to keep the truth concealed. Will any of the close-knit community discover the deadly plans and stop the inevitable before they are all put in grave danger? 
     
    Deirdre Quiery’s gripping thriller is not just an addictive page-turner but provides a compelling exploration of human emotion and desires, and the terrible costs of jealousy and ambition. 
     
    “This is an atmospheric and beautifully charged story, which moves between time frames and locations to ratchet up the building tension . . . Highly recommended. A great summer read!” —Rachel O’Connor 
     
    “A beautiful story and one which I find hard to box into a genre. It is beautifully written, lyrical at times, and simply tells the story of what it is to love and to be loved. It is a story about grief and of why people choose to commit murder. The Secret Wound hooked me in from the very beginning and I was so sad to read the final words. Highly recommended.” —Brew and Books Review
