International bestseller Simon Toyne utilises all the tricks of his former TV trade to kickstart his eerie new thriller The Clearing. Liz Nugent has reeled off four #1 bestsellers in a row, and her dazzling fifth book, Strange Sally Diamond, showcases her gift for fiendishly clever openings. Will Carver is the twisted mind behind a series of highly original novels, the latest of which is the mesmeric Suicide Thursday. CJ Tudor is the master of the macabre, and the brutally fast-paced The Drift, is her most terrifying chiller yet. Fiona Cummins, author of All Of Us Are Broken, is in the chair.
