Howe S: A Thorn in the Rose

A Thorn in the Rose

House of Monstrous Women

* FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET * 'One of our finest literary horror writers' - SUNDAY TIMES 'A dark, grimly compelling and very twisty tale' - GUARDIAN 'A beguiling, haunting modern fairy tale' - DAILY EXPRESS The Nowhere Children are expecting you... High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a verdant valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and rarely happily. Its last owner was its most famous: movie star Leaf Winham, who built Nowhere House as a refuge to hide from his fame... and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the graves discovered, the last resting places of lost young men who would never go home. Years later, Nowhere valley has become a sanctuary for runaway children, a place where adults cannot enter. Drawn by this promise, fourteen-year-old Riley pulls her brother Oliver from his bed in the middle of the night, hoping to find a new family. But the Nowhere Children are fierce in defending their valley and their secrets. For something dark lives in the ruins of Nowhere House, something that asks a terrible price for sanctuary... 'Nowhere Burning is nothing short of spellbinding' - OLIVIE BLAKE 'So sharp and beautiful it draws blood and leaves scars' - GRADY HENDRIX 'Gorgeous, dangerous, mythic and horrific. A remarkable storyteller' - A.J. FINN 'Broke my heart a dozen times and held me spellbound throughout' - SARAH HILARY 'A creepy, clever and heartrending story, compelling and beautifully crafted' - EMMA HEALEY 'Atmospheric and achingly tender suspense from one of our most original writers' - ERIN KELLY

from the bestselling author of The Last House on Needless Street

Nowhere Burning

From a former spy comes an electrifying novel about the mystery, paranoia and ruthlessness of the secretive world of British espionage 'Spies and Other Gods places him in the top tier of today's spy writers' The Spectator 'Wonderfully entertaining' John Banville, author of Booker Prize-winning The Sea 'Wolff offers a subtler version of comic spy fiction that treats its characters as amusing, fascinating and sometimes poignant enigmas' Sunday Times 'Wolff is the new maestro' Simon Sebag Montefiore The Head of British Intelligence is having a bad day. Only six months off retirement and Sir William Rentoul is wondering if he'll make it that far, what with the sudden descent of a brain fog dense enough to turn every day into a series of small humiliations. To make matters worse, Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee - the body that oversees Sir William - has received an anonymous complaint from one of his officers. Sir William dimly recalls accepting that there should be a channel for whistleblowers, but he never expected that they would pick his most sensitive case, one involving an Iranian assassin and a trail of dead bodies, or that the person who turned up to poke their nose into his files should be a lowly parliamentary researcher named Aphra McQueen, who displays smarts, tenacity and rebelliousness in unsettling measures. Aphra seems to know more about the operation than she is letting on. What will she uncover? What is she really up to? And can she survive the unexpected events that will bounce her from London to Birmingham to Paris to Lausanne? 'Extraordinarily good' The Spectator 'A memorable voice in the genre' New York Times

An electrifying novel from a former spy set in the mysterious world of British espionage

The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives

A centuries-old secret lies hidden in plain sight, etched in glass, buried in art, and guarded by those who would kill to protect it.

When museum researcher Ethan Cole uncovers a Byzantine mosaic embedded with strange geometric patterns, he's drawn into a conspiracy that spans centuries. With art historian Clara Vialli, he follows a trail of symbols and manuscripts from Venice to London and Cairo, uncovering the legend of a lost archive, the Mosaic Key, that holds the power to rewrite history itself.

As they race to unlock its meaning, they face an unseen enemy determined to silence the truth forever.

Fast-paced and rich with historical mystery, The Mosaic Key is the first Cole &amp; Vialli Adventure, a thriller that explores how the past shapes the present, and how far people will go to protect the myths that define them.

So when her husband, Ryan, gets accused of the same crime, Natalie comes perilously close to the edge. Natalie wants to believe him. But when the body of the young woman who made the accusation is found in the woods near their house, Ryan becomes a prime suspect, and Natalie realises she can't trust anyone - herself included... ---- Why readers LOVE Believe 'A truly excellent debut.
