From Sarah Pinborough, best-selling author of the recent Netflix hit Behind Her Eyes, comes Insomnia - In the dead of night, madness lies…Emma can’t sleep. It’s been like this since her big 4-0 started getting closer. Her mother stopped sleeping just before her 40th birthday too. She went mad and did the unthinkable because of it. Is that what’s happening to Emma?
Edinburgh baorn barrister Harriet Tyce returns with It Ends at Midnight - It's New Year's Eve and the stage is set for a lavish party in one of Edinburgh's best postcodes. It's a moment for old friends to set the past to rights - and move on. The night sky is alive with fireworks and the champagne is flowing. But the celebration fails to materialise. Midnight approaches and the countdown begins - but it seems one of the guests doesn't want a resolution - they want revenge.
Dominic Nolan’s Vine Street is set in Soho in 1935. The narrow alleys are brimming with jazz bars, bookies, blackshirts, ponces and tarts so when a body is found above the Windmill Club, detectives are content to dismiss the case as just another young woman who topped herself early. But Geats - a good man prepared to be a bad one if it keeps the worst of them at bay - knows the dark seams of the city. Working with his former partner, mercenary Flying Squad sergeant Mark Cassar, Geats obsessively dedicates himself to finding a warped killer - a decision that will reverberate for a lifetime and transform both men in ways they could never expect.
