| The cover for The Silent Man, the new book in David Fennell's Grace Archer series has been revealed. Stay tuned for more info about this *super* creepy instalment, but until then, don't make a sound... |  |
 | Julie Caplin's The Secret Cove in Croatia reached no.8 on Germany's Der Spiegel bestseller list last week. Congratulations, Julie! |
| Also revealed this week was the cover for Matt Johnson's No Ordinary Day, a deeply moving account of the truth behind the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher. On 17 April 1984, as police and anti-Gaddafi demonstrators gathered in the street outside the Libyan People’s Bureau in London, they had no way of knowing they were about to become part of one of the greatest tragedies in British policing history. At 10.17a.m. automatic gunfire rained down on them. WPC Yvonne Fletcher was hit in the back and later died from her injuries. Twelve demonstrators were wounded. The gunmen were Libyans, both concealed behind a first-floor window of the Bureau. |  |
Two weeks later, all those present inside the Bureau, including everyone suspected of involvement in the attack, were deported from the UK. Men guilty of terrorism and murder were neither arrested nor prosecuted.
As Yvonne Fletcher lay dying, her colleague and close friend PC John Murray cradled her in his arms. Before she lost consciousness, he promised her he would not rest until those responsible for her murder had been brought to justice.
Published in June this year, Lee Child calls it "an important book, especially now - both an intensely personal story, and a sober analysis of a political scandal."

 | The final cover reveal this week, came in the form of Cate Green's debut, The Curious Kidnapping of Nora W (One More Chapter, August 2023), an original and uplifting novel for fans of Rachel Joyce and Sally Page. Family matriarch and Holocaust survivor Nora Wojnaswki is about to become the oldest woman in the world, and her family are determined to celebrate in style. Her great grandaughter, Debs, however, is not too happy about being left in charge of the party. It’s been a struggle to get the Rabbi to commit to a date and the large Wojnaswki clan can’t agree on what food should be served. |
Only, Debs’ problems are just beginning. Because Nora isn’t your average centenarian, and she has other ideas…
