'Twisty, suspenseful and deeply atmospheric.' Harriet Tyce 'An
electrifying crime thriller.' Woman's Own The bigger the sin, the
further the fall... With Easter approaching, the verger of St
Albans Cathedral was supposed to be readying the church. Instead he
discovers a man lying dead, fallen from the famous 150-foot-high
tower. Did he jump, or was he pushed? For DCI Maarten Jansen, it's
a simple case of suspected suicide. Until a stranger, Willow, who
witnessed the jump, prompts a deeper investigation into a
decades-old mystery involving a psychiatric hospital, a pregnant
woman, and long-buried family secrets... The Fall is a powerful and
twisty thriller about loss, trauma, silence, and how our past
shapes who we are. Praise for The Fall: 'Lyrical, assured and
simmering with suspense.' Victoria Selman 'The Fall is a rare
beast... Dark, atmospheric and truly original.' Kate Simants
'Uncoils like the snapping of a whip, lashing the past into the
present with the revealing of dark family secrets.' Dominic Nolan
'Heart-pounding.' James Delargy

'A naturally literary writer who can, with a simple image, evoke
the deepest emotion' GUARDIAN Did you hear? Big landslip over by
Ercol. Last night. The road into Gully's closed off. They found a
body. Got police tape. All that stuff. They only do that for
murder, don't they? Murder! A body has been uncovered in a mudslide
just outside the village of Andwiston. In the pub they talk of
murder, but Dan - sometime mechanic, constant drunk - is finding it
hard to sift through his jumbled memories. Watching him from the
dark is Lorna, a lost soul living in the woods, haunted by ghosts
and a vision from her childhood: a cold boy standing alone in
Gallinger's field. Fusing the ghost story with sharp, psychological
insight, this brilliant, timely novel about loneliness, buried
secrets and the havoc they play on the mind, cements Carol Birch as
one of our most important literary writers.
