Sinopse

'I'm going to tell you about the worst thing that ever happened to me.'
Will's a nice guy. So when he takes a shortcut to the tube station after a few beers with his mates from work, he steps out of the way of the fellow who's staggering towards him. But he – deliberately – moves back into his path. They knock each other as they pass.
Moments later one man is dead and another's life is changed forever. Or is it? There are no CCTV cameras. There was no one else in the out-of-the-way alley. Maybe the world doesn't have to end for Will after all.
But there's always someone watching . . . and Will's life is about to implode.

In his latest thriller, crime fiction writer Royston Reeves takes a refreshing twist on the genre, revealing the perpetrator and crime from the very beginning. The novel unfolds from Will’s perspective, starting with his bewildered confession of having unintentionally killed a complete stranger with a single punch in a deserted alley. Tension arises from a twisted cat-and-mouse game—not only between the police and the assailant but also between the accidental murderer and the only witness of the crime.

Told from Will’s point of view, the novel explores his anxiety issues and fear of being found out. The reader is tempted to take Will’s side, but the fatal consequences of his punch cannot be overlooked, especially as the police are pursuing another man and Will is trying to pretend that nothing has happened.
The author delves deep into Will’s conscience and the question of responsibility. Is it possible to go on with your life if you have taken another man’s life, even if you didn’t mean to? Things get really complicated when it turns out that there was a witness. Can Will stay in control of his future? Or is his destiny in the hands of yet another stranger? A real page-turner with many unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Pantomime season has arrived in the brand new hilarious cozy murder mystery from Fiona Leitch.  
'Murder and mayhem are rarely this enjoyable. Another fantastic entry in this brilliant series that solidifies Leitch as one of the very best and funniest writers around’ Jonathan Whitelaw 
‘A wonderful seasonal romp’ Ian Moore 
It’s Christmas in Penstowan, and local amateur dramatics group the Penstowan Players are putting on their annual pantomime.  
This year it’s ‘Aladdin’, and half the town have been drafted in to help, including Shirley Parker, who only has a small part in the chorus but will no doubt upstage everybody, and Tony Penhaligon, who’s treading the boards as the baddie, Abanazar. Ex-Metropolitan police officer turned caterer Jodie Parker has managed to get away with not appearing, but only if she agrees to cater the opening night party. 
But it’s not just terrible jokes, quick costume changes and backstage chaos that wait in the wings… When the Widow Twankey (otherwise known as Tim, the mayor’s husband) trips over a corpse lying next to Aladdin’s bloodstained magic lamp, it’s time for Jodie and her partner, DCI Nathan Withers, to find the killer. 
Was it the genie of the lamp or an overly harsh theatre critic? Or does someone in the Penstowan Players have a dark secret they will do anything to protect?
