Come the Fear
Come the Fear, the fourth book in the Richard Nottingham series, is set to publish in the UK at the end of August. It's a darker book that those that have come before (don't ask - I like dark).
Want to know what it's about?
March, 1733. Richard Nottingham, Constable of the City of Leeds, joins others trying desperately to put out a fire in an empty house before it destroys the entire street. The next morning, searching the blackened ruins, he finds the charred corpse of a girl, something placed on her chest. Had the fire been started to conceal her murder?
Starting with just a single clue, Nottingham his deputy John Sedgwick and Rob Lister slowly piece together the girl’s past, a journey that takes them into the camps of the homeless, the homes of rich merchants, down and the poor and those beyond hope, deep into the dark secrets and lies that families keep hidden.
And meanwhile, the first draft of the fifth book is the series is complete. There might also be some news about a completely different novel soon, too...
