Mags Perry has fled a loveless marriage and returned from England
to 1970s Ireland where she picks up what work she can find as a
freelance journalist. Beautiful, intelligent and idealistic, her
divorce has made her a pariah in traditional Irish society, but the
burgeoning Women Movement offers her an opportunity to join in the
fight for a better, fairer republic - and if possible, find a
different kind of love along the way.
'Unspoken' charts the interlocking stories of a very different
group of characters through the tumultuous decade of the 1960s in
Ireland. It is an ambitious novel, rich in characterisation, which
depicts a period integral to the story of modern Ireland.

A taut, stylish thriller set over the course of twenty-four hours
in Paris-perfect for fans of Chris Pavone's The Expats and Olen
Steinhauer's The Tourist. The storied Hotel Chevalier on Paris'
ritzy Right Bank hosts celebrities, dignitaries, and-for one
night-Lana Gibson, an American woman who's escaped the monotony of
her staid married life for a cultural jaunt to the City of Light.
As long as she takes her meds, she promises herself, her heightened
curiosity and manic elation will stay under control. But when that
curiosity leads her to the hotel's private elevator which serves
only the ultra-elite penthouse Suite Imperial, she spies much more
than plush carpets and gilt chandeliers: a young woman caught in
the clutches of a threatening-looking older man. Unable to erase
the image of the girl in danger from her mind, Lana alerts the
police, plunging herself into a firestorm of intrigue and becoming
a target. As she engages in a cat-and-mouse game that plays out
across the streets of Paris, it emerges that the older man is a
prominent public figure, and the murky situation only offers more
questions: Is he being set up? Who stands to gain the most from his
downfall? Not knowing who has her best interests at heart, Lana
will need to use every ounce of strength and guile as she races to
discover the relationship between the truth and what she saw. Set
against the glittering city of Paris, What She Saw is a hypnotic,
thoroughly compelling thriller that will leave readers guessing
until the final pages.
