Adam Macqueen’s gripping debut novel is based on a provocative counterfactual question: what if Jeremy Thorpe and his associates had succeeded in murdering Norman Scott in 1975, rather than his dog Rinka? Macqueen’s youthful protagonist, sex worker turned reluctant investigator Tommy Wildeblood, is drawn into a grim narrative of exploitation and secret subterranean worlds, as he attempts to discover a murderer’s identity. Macqueen depicts his grim milieu engagingly – the 70s have seldom seemed so grotty and threatening – and this very English scandal has wit and invention to spare.
The world is fragile. It takes less than we think to set it aflame.” So the historian Dan Jones writes, striking unintended contemporary parallels in his introduction to his second collaboration with the artist Marina Amaral, after The Colour of Time. In The World Aflame, the events of the first and second world wars – the so-called long war – are brought to vivid, startling life thanks to Amaral’s skill at colourising contemporary images. Jones’s pithy and knowledgable captions, meanwhile, offer useful context and erudite commentary but it’s the pictures that leave an indelible impact. The Last ProtectorFormer air force combat rescue officer Special Agent Clayton White now works for the Secret Service performing routine escort missions for politicians. These missions may not be quite as exciting as his time in the military, but Clayton’s okay with that. It gives him more time to see his girlfriend, Veronica Hammond—an archaeologist who also happens to be the vice president elect’s daughter. Both Marwood and Cat have mysteries to uncover. Yet they are walking a fine line as their activities could easily lead to them being charged with treason. From the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Ashes of London comes the next book in the phenomenally successful series following James Marwood and Cat Lovett.
