In this world, two souls inhabit a sole body, one by day, one by
night. But though they live alongside one another, their ends do
not always align. For Special Inspector Morden, whose hunt for a
dangerous witch takes him far away, this will be a problem...
Christophor Morden lives by night. His day-brother, Alexsander,
knows only the sun. They are two souls in a single body, in a world
where identities change with the rising and setting of the sun.
Night-brother or day-sister, one never sees the light, the other
knows nothing of the night. Early one evening, Christophor is
roused by a call to the city prison. A prisoner has torn his eyes
out and cannot say why. Yet worse: in the sockets that once held
his eyes, teeth are growing. The police suspect the supernatural,
so Christophor, a member of the king's special inspectorate, is
charged with finding the witch responsible. Night-by-night,
Christophor's investigation leads him ever further from home,
toward a backwards village on the far edge of the kingdom. But the
closer he gets to the truth, the more his day-brother's actions
frustrate him. Who is Alexsander protecting? What does he not want
Christophor to discover? And all the while, an ancient and
apocalyptic ritual creeps closer to completion... Reviews for
Equinox: 'Clever, original and beautifully crafted, half the fun
here lies in getting to grips with the ramifications of this
complex world, but the story holds like a vice' Daily Mail
No one knows who will return as one of the Walkin'. But everyone
agrees it's a curse . . . and there are those who will not suffer
the wicked to live. Seven years after Thomas returned as a Walkin',
the McDermott family are looking for a new life and Thomas has set
his heart on starting a farmstead near the remote outpost of Fort
Wilson. But the teachings of J.S. Barkley are not so easily
forsaken - there are those who would see the sinners dead, and they
are slowly closing in.
An action-packed, post-apocalyptic adventure for fans of The
Walking Dead, World War Z and Feed. The dead don't always die.
Those who rise again are the Walkin' . . . Thomas is thirty-two. He
comes from the small town of Barkley. He has a wife there, Sarah,
and a child, Mary; good solid names from the Good Book. And he is
on his way home from the war, where he has been serving as a
conscripted soldier. Thomas is also dead - he is one of the
Walkin'. And Barkley does not suffer the wicked to live.

Perfect for fans of The Walking Dead and The Road: the stunning,
terrifying, moving conclusion to The Walkin' Trilogy. Is there a
future for those already dead? Rumours of the Drowned Woman are
rife. Some say she can't be killed, not in the usual ways. She
hunts down wanted men - but never collects on the bounty; they say
she is looking for one man in particular. He killed her husband and
stole her daughter. There will be a reckoning. 'Haunting, elegiac,
evocative and human' Christopher Brookmyre, author of Dead Girl
Walking
