twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the
investigation’s running out of time.

She was a fugitive, lost in a storm. That was when she saw the
sign: motel - vacancy. The sign was unlit, the motel dark. She
switched off the engine, and sat thinking, alone and frightened.
She had nobody. The stolen money wouldn't help her, and Sam
couldn't either, because she had taken the wrong turning; she was
on a strange road. There was nothing she could do now - she had
made her grave and she'd have to lie in it. She froze. Where had
that come from? Grave. It was bed, not grave. She shivered in the
cold car, surrounded by shadows. Then, without a sound, a dark
shape emerged from the blackness and the car door opened. Psycho is
not a tale for queasy stomachs or faint hearts. It is filled with
horrifying suspense and the climax, instead of being a relief, will
hit the reader with bone-shattering force.
Tom Kettle, a retired policeman, and widower, is settling into the quiet of his new home in Dalkey, overlooking the sea. His solitude is interrupted when two former colleagues turn up at his door to ask about a traumatic, decades-old case. A case that Tom never quite came to terms with. And his peace is further disturbed when his new neighbour, a mysterious young mother, asks for his help.
A beautiful, haunting novel, in which nothing is quite as it seems, Old God's Time is an unforgettable exploration of family, loss and love.

The play date started well. The children happy in one room while their mothers relaxed and drank wine in another.
But then the stranger appeared at the window. And then he was inside the house. And then he grabbed the knife...
Alice only means to stop him. She doesn't mean to hit him so hard. She didn't mean to kill him.
The police conclude that she acted in self-defence, but wracked with guilt, Alice sets out to apologise to Linda, the mother of the young man she killed - only to find she is unable to come clean about who she really is. But as Alice learns more about Ezra and why he was at her house, she starts to wonder whether she really has the full picture about what happened that day...
This latest simmering suspense novel from the internationally bestselling Katherine Faulkner is a unputdownable must-read that will have you hooked from the first twist to the last.
