Book Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD A haunting, atmospheric mystery set against a country divided, by the author of A House of Ghosts. January 1921. Though the Great War is over, in Ireland a new civil war is raging. The once-grand Kilcolgan House, a crumbling bastion shrouded in sea mist, lies half empty and filled with ghosts, both real and imagined, while it shelters the surviving members of the Prendeville family. Then, when an IRA ambush goes terribly wrong, Maud Prendeville, Lord Kilcolgan’s eldest daughter, is killed, leaving the family reeling. Yet the IRA column behind the attack insists they left her alive, that someone else must be responsible for her terrible fate. Captain Tom Harkin, an IRA intelligence officer and Maud's former fiancé, is sent to investigate. He becomes an unwelcome guest in this strange, gloomy household. Working undercover, Harkin must delve into the house's secrets—and discover where, in this fractured, embattled town, allegiances truly lie. But Harkin too is haunted by the ghosts of the past and by his terrible experiences on the battlefields. Can he find the truth about Maud's death before the past—and his strange, unnerving surroundings—overwhelm him? The Winter Guest is a gripping and immersive read for fans of classic mysteries by the likes of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers along with Charles Todd’s Ian Rutledge series, Ann Cleeves, and Jacqueline Winspear.

Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
The third compulsive mystery in the Blackwater Bay series from Paula Gosling, author of Monkey Puzzle and winner of the CWA Golden Dagger. Blackwater Bay has frozen over for the season, now a place for the idle reverie of the town's sporting fishermen – and local teacher Jess Gibbons is stuck, gloomy about the sorry state of her life. So when a corpse floats up into an ice hole one morning, the intense shock is enough to shake her out of it. Soon, Sheriff Matt Gabriel’s team confirm the body to be a mob-connected New York ex-con, who could have been in the area to carry out a hit – and Blackwater’s quiet streets threaten to be submerged by a ravenous media circus. Then, as a girl from the local high school goes missing, the puzzle deepens. She was one of Jess's pupils, and her disappearance is inexplicable. Though – she was recently cautioned for drug use. Could this be a factor? As the community prepares for its annual Ice Festival, Matt and Jess work to unravel these mysterious events. Could the two cases be connected? Who did the ex-con want to kill? And will Jess sort her life out in time for the wife-sliding competition? Weaving diverse strands together with great wit and ingenuity, this is another hugely entertaining slice of murder and mystery in the Great Lakes. The Dead of Winter is the third book in the Blackwater Bay series. The series continues with Death and Shadows.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The battle might be lost, but the war isn’t over. Once it was home to half a billion people. A year after the nuclear war, Europe is a radioactive, storm-ravaged wasteland through which a hundred million undead inexorably march. In their wake, they leave nothing but ruins. Ahead of them flee those few who managed to survive this long. Chasing them are the dregs of humanity. Once known as the Rosewood Cartel, they kill, loot, and destroy as indiscriminately as the living dead. Hope might be lost, but it could still be found, as can a future for the last remnant of humanity. Those who built a sanctuary on Anglesey, in Dundalk, in Creil are the help that came to others. In this, their darkest hour, but with a new dawn so close, they will not give up. Set in the Faroe Islands, France, Denmark, and elsewhere, the battle has begun, but the war hasn’t yet been lost.
