(Mac Slater Coolhunter, book 1)

"Where were the books like this when I was a kid?"
The Very Thought of You (2009)
Rosie Alison
"Without question one of the best debuts I've read in recent years."
The Golden Mean (2009)
Annabel Lyon
"Extraordinary... Fascinating... Brings the ancient world back to life with a splendour I haven't seen since I, Claudius. A triumph."
Room (2010)
Emma Donoghue
"Room is one of the most profoundly affecting books I've read in a long time. I read the book over two days, desperate to know how their story would end."
The Violin of Auschwitz (2010)
Maria Angels Anglada
"Anglada writes with elegance and subtlety, the brevity of the story only adding to its emotional power."
Holding (2016)
