accompaniment to a sunny afternoon, a hammock and a glass of
Pimm's' - Guardian 'An undiluted pleasure' - Scotsman
_______________ Now a major, prime-time six-part series
Grantchester for ITV Sidney Chambers, the Vicar of Grantchester, is
a thirty-two year old bachelor. Sidney is an unconventional
clergyman and can go where the police cannot. Together with his
roguish friend Inspector Geordie Keating, Sidney inquires into the
suspect suicide of a Cambridge solicitor, a scandalous jewellery
theft at a New Year's Eve dinner party, the unexplained death of a
well-known jazz promoter and a shocking art forgery, the disclosure
of which puts a close friend in danger. Sidney discovers that being
a detective, like being a clergyman, means that you are never off
duty... _______________ 'A charmingly effective tale of detection
... a satisfyingly old-fashioned read' - The Times 'No detective
since Father Brown has been more engaging than Canon Sidney
Chambers' - Salley Vickers 'The coziest of cozy murder mysteries' -
New York Times Book Review 'Full of witty phrases to delight the
reader' - Peggy Woodford, Church Times 'Gentle criminal
entertainment with a pleasantly old-fashioned feel to it' - Andrew
Taylor, Spectator
God, drugs, corruption, and morality come together in this gripping
tale of desperation In Gasconade County, Missouri-once called the
meth capital of the world-Deputy Sherriff Dale Banks discovers
$52,000 hidden in the broken-down trailer that Jerry Dean Skaggs
uses for cooking crystal. And he takes it. Banks knows what he did
was wrong, but he did it for all the right reasons. At least, he
thinks so. But for every wrong, there is a consequence. Jerry Dean
can't afford to lose that $52,000-he owes it to his partners and to
a crooked cop. He also can't afford to disappoint the crazed and
fearsome Reverend Butch Pogue, who is expecting Jerry Dean to
deliver the chemicals the reverend needs for his next batch of
meth. To avoid the holy man's wrath, Jerry Dean sets in motion a
series of events that will threaten Banks's family, his life, and
everything he thinks he knows about the world. "Matthew McBride's
new novel, A Swollen Red Sun, is rough and ready suspense,
encompassing a wide array of characters from the sour side of life,
and smashing them together with vigorous and blunt prose." -Daniel
Woodrell, author of The Maid's Version and Winter's Bone "The words
practically vibrate off the page in Matthew McBride's amped-up and
intricately plotted novel about meth freaks and dirty cops, A
Swollen Red Sun. Filled with scenes of both tremendous brutality
and heartrending compassion, it is the best fictional depiction of
the current drug epidemic raging across the Midwest that I have
ever read." -Donald Ray Pollock, author of Knockemstiff and The
Devil All The Time "A Swollen Red Sun, simply put, is an epic piece
of modern crime fiction. But within that, McBride never loses his
sense of powerful intimacy with the characters, their lives, their
families, and their demons." -Todd Robinson, author of The Hard
Bounce and editor of Thuglit "Memorable, unique, and at times, even
haunting. Every character rings true from the feckless to the noble
to the downright frightening. . . . With] dark country humor, A
Swollen Red Sun is a must read." -Johnny Shaw, Anthony
Award-winning author of Big Maria and Plaster City "Matthew McBride
writes like a train doing 80 miles an hour towards a curve rated
for 30. The doors are rattling, the couplings are screaming, and
you're riding the blind, hoping like hell that the destination
lives up to the ride. Which it does, and more. Matthew McBride is
exactly my kind of writer, and Swollen Red Sun is precisely my kind
of book." -Benjamin Whitmer, author of Cry Father "Matthew McBride
is an American original. His dialogue crackles like a brush fire
and he has a rare gift for pitch-perfect details that breathe life
into each and every character. There's no other writer I know whose
prose could sear paint off a wall." -Hilary Davidson, Anthony
Award-winning author of Blood Always Tells "Matthew McBride is one
of those rare writers who can have you reeling in shock one minute,
and laughing out loud the next." -John Rector, author of Already
Gone "Make no mistake, McBride is the king of Chainsaw Noir, and
there's no one else who can step to the throne." -Chuck Wendig,
author of Blackbirds "Read Frank Sinatra in a Blender] in a day.
Loved it " -Charlie Sheen Matthew McBride is a former assembly-line
worker living in rural Missouri. In his words, "These people are
the people I know and see every day, and this is the world I know."
He is also the author of the cult hit Frank Sinatra in a Blender.

Once, Beth was a different person, convinced she was living her dream
life with the enigmatic wellness group, Elixir. But when that dream
became a nightmare, she had no choice but to run, no matter what – or
who – stood in her way.
Ten years later, exhausted and struggling with the pressures of
motherhood, she receives a mysterious letter bearing only the infinity
symbol, and knows immediately it is from them.
The past she’d run from has finally caught up with her, and the secrets
she’s tried so hard to hide will soon be uncovered. Can she finally
escape them for good, or will her freedom pay the ultimate price?
If wellness is the new religion, what happens when it’s taken too far?
The truth can set you free. Or destroy your life
When blood spatter expert Claudia O’Shiel finds herself on stage to talk about the most famous criminal case in recent history, she has a choice to make: explain how her evidence put away the man responsible for the brutal double murder? Or tell them the truth – that the real killer is still out there, and if she tries to expose this conspiracy, it won’t just be her life on the line.
A taut, intelligent suspense novel for fans of Val McDermid, Elly Griffiths and Tana French, The Good Liar is about power, class, and the lengths we're willing to go for family.
