**The NEW NOVEL from Howard Linskey**

Someone knows where the bodies are buried...

Little Susan Verity went missing during the heatwave of 1976. An unprecedented amount of police resource went into finding her, but to no avail. Until now.

Praise for Howard Linskey

Linskey delivers a flawless feel for time and place, mixed with unrelenting pace

Linskey is one of the most commanding crime fiction practitioners at work today

Linskey has taken a sharp swerve towards the big time ... he has elevated his writing to a level of complexity and humanity seldom approached by British writers previously

I can't remember the last time I gobbled a novel down so fast

Ominous, addictive...In crafting this high-stakes page-turner, Meloy excels as a master of suspense

No character will emerge unscathed as Meloy ratchets up the tension

[Meloy is] a wise and astonishing conjurer of convincing realities

Her characters are drawn sparingly, but they leap off the page

She's such a talented and unpredictable writer that I'm officially joining her fan club; whatever she writes next, I'll gladly read it

Somehow she pulls off what never quite seemed possible before: combining the meticulous realism of domestic fiction with the witchery of a natural-born storyteller

Always true to her wide-ranging though consistently introspective characters, Meloy convincingly depicts the inchoate emotion that drives people, while also distilling meaning from it

Meloy has such a sure handle in what to leave out. Her style is impressively unshowy: it's not even showily unshowy, not seeing the need to draw attention to its pared-down restraint

Gripping and convincing, it is a reminder of how vulnerable our lives can be

Twisty, tense, savvy thriller

In 'Do Not Become Alarmed' the narrative switches dazzlingly from character to character with ingenious facility. Meloy has an Ann Patchett-like eye for nuance and detail and a mordant wit that persists even through the most gruesome and disturbing scenes; this restless, kinetic book is unsettling and provoking but never solemn. I kept stopping and setting it aside to think; at the end I urgently wanted to read it again

Like a gothic Famous Five... a vivid, fast-moving, beach-friendly thriller

Here at Company HQ we're all obsessed with Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. This juicy seaside-town murder mystery will be one of the biggest books this autumn

Take this page-turner on holiday with you - you won't be able to put it down!
