Book Description
*From the creator of SLOW HORSES and soon to be a major TV series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson* 'If you haven't read Zoë Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction' Val McDermid, author of Past Lying 'This is one of these novels where you read it, not just to see what happens at the end, but to see what happens on the very next page' Booklist When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did the woman kill herself? Why was she wearing the jacket a murderer had stolen years before? And what's brought Sarah's former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel where she's staying? Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can't leave until she's found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be.

*From the creator of SLOW HORSES and soon to be a major TV series starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson* 'If you haven't read Zoë Boehm yet, welcome to your next fiction addiction' Val McDermid, author of Past Lying 'Good characterisation, dialogue and a well-paced narrative make this confident first novel frighteningly plausible' Daily Telegraph It's an evening like any other when an explosion rips through the leafy Oxford suburb Sarah Tucker calls home. In the aftermath, a house now stands devastated, with two adults dead and a young girl missing. With the police more interested in keeping the neighbours from rubbernecking than in searching for the missing child, Sarah becomes obsessed with finding her. She enlists the help of Zoë Boehm's investigation agency, but Sarah's and Zoë's search reveals more secrets than answers, taking them from Oxford's cobbled streets to the rugged outer reaches of the British Isles. As Zoë and Sarah draw closer to the truth, they are caught in a web of conspiracy and come up against government forces, cold-blooded mercenaries and vengeful loners. Down Cemetery Road is Mick Herron's debut novel and the first book in the Zoë Boehm series.

Book Description
In 1960s Kentucky, Susanna Braden is one of four children in a dynamic Catholic family that thrives on unpredictability, where painful secrets remain unspoken, allowing sins of the past to be repeated and threatening the security and innocence of another generation. Susanna's childhood begins as one of enchantment, but always with an underlying current of instability. When a series of events lead to the development of a bitter judgment towards parents who failed to protect, either through undisclosed secrets or failure to act, Susanna draws on the support of her friends and siblings as she struggles with whether these experiences should define the person she is to become. These same experiences shape her self-esteem and feelings about love and relationships, while her friendships with Shelly, a funny, allegedly-promiscuous classmate, and Calvin, the honorable boy-next-door with whom she secretly falls in love, keep her grounded. Ultimately, Susanna must decide whether to accept her family, despite its faults, particularly when she recognizes the same failings in herself. And she must determine whether her family's good qualities, including an endearing resilience and appealing ability to rally together, even in the face of profound loss, provide the redemption they all so desperately seek.More detailed description:In 1960's Kentucky, Mama births adventures like golden eggs, but she's not exactly maternal. So, when it comes to the younger Braden children, teenage Susanna does her best to fill in where Mama leaves off – until Susanna unearths shameful secrets about Mama's past and, worse, discovers that Mama has completely failed to warn, or protect, her own children. Furious and filled with righteous indignation, Susanna's through doing Mama's work for her, and all she wants is to somehow escape the drama. Susanna finds comfort in the farm next-door and the boy who's always been her best friend. He's there for her like he always is, steady and appealingly normal and, before long, she's falling for him. For a little while, nothing seems as important as winning Calvin's love. But Calvin is involved with someone else, and when he deploys to Vietnam, it may not be Susanna's love he carries in his heart. Things look bleak, until it becomes clear that Calvin needs her friendship, if not her love, now more than ever. He's the most honorable person Susanna's ever known, and even he is being changed by his experiences. Suddenly Susanna's sense of honor, and fault, are being challenged, just as she has to face what's happening at home – that her withdrawal does not come without a cost, and her beloved brother is paying the price. Now she finds herself at a crossroads – repeat her mother's mistakes or face the awful truth. And it all boils down to a choice between fear and hope.
