Call Me Spud

Casa editrice: Austin Macauley Publishers

Sinossi

In Call Me Spud, Stephen Rowley examines the influence of the violence of the Northern Ireland Troubles and its inevitable repercussions on the human psyche. The novel traces the dramatic consequences of the common brutality which was witnessed during the province's bloodiest years, and more specifically, the exceptional savagery of West Belfast's infamous gang of serial killers. This work of fiction follows the daily routine of a police constable engaged in the arduous task of pursuing and eventually capturing the killers.

The impact of their violence results in both individual and collective trauma as the novel moves beyond the immediate geographical boundaries of Northern Ireland to the south of England. The shift in location points to the universality of violence and its aftermath.

Totem (Unabridged)

Matthew Hall

She's a high-flying city lawyer. He's from the backwoods. Their fated meeting changes everything...

The gripping new crime thriller from the Bafta-winning screenwriter of BBC1's Keeping Faith and bestselling author of the Jenny Cooper Coroner novels.


The day Jessie Cunningham achieves her life's goal and is made partner in an ultra-powerful Toronto law firm, she suffers a catastrophic burnout. While attempting to recuperate, she volunteers for a charity preserving ancient trees in the wilderness of British Columbia. There she meets Todd Samson, a man with a troubled past and a wounded soul.

The attraction is instant, but they're from different worlds... that are about to collide.

When Todd is falsely accused of murdering a local conservation officer and his beleaguered community in the Three Valleys Reserve comes under pressure from the government to swap its ancestral territory for land on the outskirts of Vancouver, Jessie is drawn into their struggle against greed, corruption and injustice.

Forming an unlikely alliance with Chief Ray Squinas and wood carver and shaman Eldon Marshall, Jessie joins them in the fight of their lives - against just the kind of dark forces she has spent her career serving.
