In the lobby of a Blackpool hotel, one year after the end of the Great War, Britain's spymaster recruits a young sideshow fortune-teller for a mission of historic importance. A standalone novella from the author of The Bedlam Detective and The Authentic William James. Kirkus Reviews: (for The Bedlam Detective, 100 Best Fiction selection for 2012) "Monsters, actual and metaphorical, are at the heart of this superbly crafted thriller. Gallagher loves character development but respects plotting enough to give it full measure. The result is that rare beast, a literary page turner." Jonny Lee Miller, via Twitter: "Just finished Stephen Gallagher's The Bedlam Detective. Only bad thing about his books is that they eventually end. Brilliant." The Historical Novel Society: "It's certainly a thriller, but with a literary depth unusual in the genre, and fascinating in the complexity of its construct. Gallagher's prose is swift, sure, and occasionally darkly comedic... Three words of advice: read this book." Stephen Volk: "It's a blinding novel (The Authentic William James)... each chapter had me chuckling with joy-if not at the acerbic wit, the brilliant dialogue-the sheer spot-on elegance of the writing: the plot turns, the pin sharp beats. Always authoritative and convincing, never showy. Magnificently realised characters in a living breathing world... Absolutely stunning." Publishers Weekly (starred): "British author Gallagher gives Sebastian Becker another puzzle worthy of his quirky sleuth's acumen in his outstanding third pre-WWI mystery... Gallagher makes the most of his unusual concept in the service of a twisty but logical plot line."

"Hard to put down, impossible to forget... subtle and disturbing" Today Lucy Ashdown is a girl with a mission - to find the driver who ran down and killed her sister Christine. Now she has a lead and she's off to London. Disgraced Detective Joe Lucas is as dedicated as Lucy. His aim is to bring her home. By any means necessary. Stepping into her sister's shoes, this small-town girl is thrust into a terrifying night journey of deceit, danger, and degradation. By recreating her sister's life, she unwittingly heads toward her sister's fate; and even as she believes that she's closing in on the murderer, the murderer is closing in on her. "A strange, powerful story of love and vengeance" Felicia Lamb, Mail on Sunday "Gallagher's descriptions pin down London's underbelly with deadly accuracy" The Times "Since Valley of Lights he has been refining his own brand of psycho-thriller, with a discomforting knack of charting mental disintegration and a razor-sharp sense of place" Daily Telegraph "This is the sort of tension that one could savour for more than 244 pages... a tense, nerve-racking tale... I'd be surprised if a better London novel hits the bookshops this year" Anne Billson, Time Out "Unquestionably Gallagher's finest novel yet" Vector Also available as an Ebook

"Stephen Gallagher's tense melodrama (is) spun from the mysterious disappearance of auto dealer Frank Tanner's wife Carol, the stalled police investigation into Frank's possible guilt-and the complications ensuing from the obsessive actions of Carol's burnt-out, former drug-taking younger sister Molly, who knows Frank did away with his wife, and devotes her dwindling energies to protecting the children now in his care and bringing him to justice." The Washington Post "Cold-blooded murders follow in the race to the climax. Chalk up another winner-brief, merciless and punchy-for Gallagher." Publishers' Weekly "The pace of the story becomes frantic, breathtaking and electrifying. Gallagher is a master in building suspense, making literally impossible to put The Painted Bride down. His narrative style is, as ever, solid and extremely vivid, with a movie-like character which makes you feel like you're watching events taking place under your very eyes" SF Site featured review

It was my friend, Bram Stoker, who told me of the legend of the Wanderer a man who made a bargain with the devil himself, trading his soul for forbidden knowledge and eternal life. Once I would have dismissed such tales as mere fancy but I knew what I had seen. And there is no mind so open as that of desperate man. A dark Gothic Victorian thriller, The Kingdom of Bones unfolds in a twilight world of music halls, boxing booths, and travelling theatrical shows; and pits a formidable Pinkerton detective against a man who fears more than justice.
