Instructions for a Heatwave
It's July 1976 and London is in the grip of a heatwave. It hasn't rained for months, water comes from a standpipe, and Robert Riordan tells his wife Gretta that he's going round the corner to buy a newspaper. He doesn't come back.
A nostalgic read for anyone who remembers the times when we would have welcomed some rain during the summer months!

Dominion
1952. The Great Smog. London. Britain enters a new Elizabethan Age. But all is not what it seems as a dense, choking fog engulfs the city and beneath it, history is re-written ...
A new standalone spy thriller from the globally bestselling author of Winter In Madrid and the Shardlake series. It reimagines Britain in the 1950s, based on the premise that Churchill did not become prime minister in 1940, and instead sues for an uneasy peace with Nazi Germany. With a state of constant war raging on the eastern front, many now see Britain as little more than a corrupt German satellite state. Civil Servant David Fitzgerald has been recruited as a spy by Churchill's outlawed “Free Britain” organisation and is faced with a mission of desperate importance.
