No Turning Back

They thought it would be easy. They were dead wrong...

Alex is failing as a father.

Ian keeps dangerous secrets.

Jenn wants adventure.

Mitch wants Jenn.

Four friends just scraping by, finding comfort in each other and the hope that things will get better. But as their twenties fade in the rear-view mirror, none of them are turning out to be who - or where - they hoped.

At a time when CEOs steal millions while their employees watch savings dwindle, these four are tired of the honest approach. They're going to stop waiting and start taking.

They have a failsafe, victimless plan that will change their lives for ever.

What could possibly go wrong...

Reviews

Reads like an episode of Friends directed by Tarantino

—— Daily Telegraph

[Leaves] readers gasping with fright and pleasure at Sakey's genius.

—— Chicago Tribune

Among the most revered names in British mystery fiction

—— Washington Post

Completely individual, instantly recognisable and highly enjoyable

—— Times Literary Supplement

Some of the best new blood work in the genre . . . Scary funny, witty, and genuinely perplexing right to the end

—— Glasgow Herald

This robust, old-fashioned gothic mystery has everything you’re looking for: a creepy old house, a tenant with a secret history, and even a few ghosts. Laura McHugh’s novel sits at the intersection of memory and history, astutely asking whether we carry the past or it carries us.

—— Jodi Picoult

An eloquently eerie tale.

—— Booklist

A pitch-perfect example of Southern Gothic.

—— The Times

A rare talent. Tight, beautifully dark prose, peppered with scintillating moments of light…A wonderfully crafted tale that will satisfy readers in ways they never thought possible. Brilliant stuff, indeed.

—— Chris High

A chilling, twisting tale of family, memory, and home . . . This engaging and thrilling tale about a young woman’s homecoming, the vagaries of memory, and the impact of tragedy on both a town and a family is a terrific choice for Laura Lippman and Sue Grafton readers.

—— Library Journal

Arrowood is a haunting and heart-breaking novel that puts Laura McHugh on the literary map.

gripping.

A lyrically haunting story…It’s so atmospheric you can practically hear the floorboard creek.

An absorbing, spine-tingling novel brimming with atmosphere.

—— Daily Express

a superb, compelling read

Sirens immediately feels like a classic, not a debut . . . a book for every crime fan.

—— Julia Heaberlin, author of Black Eyed Susans

An amazing thriller. Sexy, stylish suspense.

—— A. A. Dhand

A dark, dangerous noir, Sirens will be one of 2017’s smash hit debuts.

—— Nick Quantrill

A down and dirty slice of Manchester noir . . . Impressively bleak.

Page-turner is the only word for it.

—— Press Association

Brooding, blistering. Sirens is a remarkable literary thriller, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and James Lee Burke

—— A.J. Finn, bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
