Since taking on a famous celebrity client, defence attorney Jane Smith
has been chased down, shot at, and threatened with contempt of court.
She’s a survivor. For now.
Jane Smith represents a Hamptons real estate mogul with more enemies
than clients.
When Jane’s own life is threatened, mounting a legal defence turns into
self-defence.
Knowing every day in court could be her last, she’s armed and ready:
with brilliant arguments, hard evidence - and two Glocks.
Until she hears the words “not guilty,” Jane Smith will Never Say Die.
They say you can't choose your family . . . But what if they're
wrong? Chloe lives a quiet life. Working as a newspaper archivist
in the day and taking care of her nan in the evening, she's happy
simply to read about the lives of others as she files the news
clippings from the safety of her desk. But there's one story that
she can't stop thinking about. The case of Angie Kyle - a girl,
Chloe's age, who went missing as a child. A girl whose parents
never gave up hope. When Chloe's nan is moved into care, leaving
Chloe on the brink of homelessness, she takes a desperate step:
answering an ad to be a lodger in the missing girl's family home.
It could be the perfect opportunity to get closer to the story
she's read so much about. But it's not long until she realizes this
couple isn't all they seem. In a house where everyone has something
to hide, is it possible to get too close? Anna Wharton's debut, The
Imposter, is a thought-provoking story of obsession, loneliness and
the lies we tell ourselves in order to live with ourselves.
'Evocative and compelling' - Karen Hamilton, author of The Perfect
Girlfriend and The Last Wife

It is 1942, and struggling up the hill to the new military
hospital, Heron's Park, Kent, postman Higgins has no idea that the
sender of one of the seven letters of application he is delivering
will turn out to be a murderer in a year's time. When Higgins is
brought in following injuries from a bombing raid in 1943, his
inexplicable death from asphyxiation at the operating table casts
four nurses and three doctors under suspicion, and a second death
in quick succession invites the presence of the irascible - yet
uncommonly shrewd - Inspector Cockrill to the scene. As the
prospect of driving back across Kent amid falling bombs detains the
inspector for the night, a tense and claustrophobic investigation
begins to determine who committed the foul deeds, and how it was
possible to kill with no evidence left behind.
