Sinossi

A Love Reading Book of the Month
'Mark Ezra's impressive debut creatively mixes biblical themes with echoes of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club... but is very much its own work' Financial Times
'It's a well-written book. Punchy throughout' Spectator
'Compelling and engaging' Julian Fellowes
'...distinct echoes of the classy Agatha Christie espionage novels' Peter James
'Anyone who enjoys Richard Osman and Mick Herron will love this taut, atmospheric spy thriller.' Charles Cumming
When retired former spy Felicity Jardine's mission to drown herself is interrupted by a baby drifting down river, her training kicks in at once. She manages to save the baby, and conceals them both from the shady-looking man who is searching for it.
Then an elderly neighbour to whom she bears a resemblance is found dead, and Felicity knows she's been rumbled. She has to dust off the highly trained and resourceful secret service officer she used to be, ensure the safety of the baby, and re-enter the fray.
She can count on the help of two former MI6 colleagues to identify the murderer and find out exactly what's going on. But Felicity will soon realise that her work in 1970s Germany and her present are entangled – and she will have to face some hard truths before she can confront the demons of her past.
'Quirky and inventive. Splendid stuff!' Luke Jennings, author of Killing Eve
'A hugely entertaining spy thriller. Pacey and laced with dark humour' Emma Curtis

    One serial killer plus a rogue cop equals a recipe for disaster… 
    Following recent events, Detective Liv DeMarco finds herself working undercover. But this time, her partner, Brad Fennel, isn’t backing her plays. He’s been reassigned. Whether that’s temporary or permanent is anyone’s guess, but Liv doesn’t like it. There’s no one she trusts more than Brad, and she needs him to watch her back as she hunts a serial killer who’s murdering escorts. 
    In the midst of the operation, she spots Brad. But as far as she knows, he’s not working this case, and his disheveled appearance and glassy eyes have her worried. She’s seen Brad in compromising positions before, but never like this. Has he gone rogue? Or has he just given up? 
    While Liv hunts a killer, she’ll unravel a world of secrets and deceit, where no one is who they say they are. How does her partner, the man she trusts most, fit into this mess? And will they be able to get out of it alive and unscathed? Or is this the end of their perfect partnership?

    The Reluctant Witness 
    (By Sal Blue) 
    Some truths refuse to stay buried. 
    Detective Darrius Blue thought the nightmare ended when the Confessional Killer was caught. But when a traumatized survivor emerges with whispers of an ancient brotherhood inside the Church—known only as The Order of Clemency—Darrius is pulled back into a web of secrets that reach higher and deeper than he ever imagined. 
    With Detective Sarah Donovan at his side, Blue’s pursuit of justice drags them through a maze of lies, sacred oaths, and silent witnesses who would rather die than speak. Each clue exposes another layer of corruption, each confession another soul lost to penance and power. 
    When a reclusive nun steps forward with evidence too damning to ignore, Blue must decide how far he’s willing to go for the truth—because in this investigation, even the innocent aren’t untouched, and the guilty hide behind holy walls. 
    As old enemies resurface and alliances blur, Blue discovers that salvation and damnation often share the same confessional. 
    Faith. Guilt. Vengeance. Redemption. 
    In The Reluctant Witness, the line between them is razor-thin—and crossing it may cost Darrius Blue everything.
