Here Be Dragons

‘Sharon Bolton is changing the face of crime fiction’ TESS GERRITSEN

There must be a thousand people in the vicinity of Westminster Bridge on this beautiful evening . . . in approximately thirty minutes’ time, many of them will be dead.

Mark Joesbury, of Scotland Yard’s Covert Operations Unit, is undercover. Embroiled in a terrorist gang’s plans for a deadly attack at the heart of the capital, he’s risking everything to stop them. But as they prepare to target London’s most iconic landmarks, it’s no longer just countless strangers he’s fighting to save. Because they’ve also got the woman he loves, DC Lacey Flint…

Reviews

A dark, intense and deeply felt novel

—— Independent

A brawling romantic novel about the hell of war, the value of friendship, the difficulties of loving and how to be a man despite it all

—— Washington Post

A stunning narrative talent

—— New York Times

Top notch...an imaginative narrative sense, chaotic and even manic, but violently dramatic...excitingly new

—— Los Angeles Times

A gutting, eloquent first novel with an insistence you won't, you just can't evade

—— Kirkus

Emma Kavanagh is a very gifted writer, her eye for detail and her impeccably created characters make The Missing Hoursan absolute joy to read…The Missing Hoursis exceptionally detailed, intriguing and unusual. I was hooked from the very first chapter. An outstanding story with superb characters and an exciting plot.

—— Random Things Through My Letterbox

I really enjoyed this book, and I mean really enjoyed it. I like my mysteries to be mysterious, my thrillers to be thrilling, and this was both of those things. The best stories are hard to guess but, once you know, make sense and that describes this one perfectly. While I didn't see it coming, a sense of understanding dawned on me when all became clear, so while it was unpredictable it was an ending that fitted perfectly with the story with hindsight. The writing is fluent and eloquent, and although I had a harder-to-tote hardback, I still stuck this one in my handbag as a chapter before bedtime was not going to be enough.

—— The Bookbag

Sensationally ensnares its readers.

—— Vogue

It is testament to Kavanagh’s skill as a writer that, aside from her ability to apply her inside knowledge of police and military operations so effectively, she is also able to create a compelling set of characters.
