The Tall Man

'EXTRAORDINARY. SHOCKING, YET SUBTLE, THE MENACE DRIPS OFF EVERY PAGE . . . AN ALMOST UNBEARABLY GOOD READ' Caz Frear, Sunday Times-bestselling author of SWEET LITTLE LIES Every year, on the same night in July, a woman is taken from the streets of London; snatched by a killer who moves through the city like a ghost. Addie has a secret. On the morning of her tenth birthday, four bombs were detonated across the capital. That night her dad came home covered in blood. She thought he was hurt in the attacks - but then her sister Jessie found a missing woman's purse hidden in his room. Jessie says they mustn't tell. She says there's nothing to worry about. But when she takes a job looking after the woman's baby daughter, Addie starts to realise that her big sister doesn't always tell her the whole story. And that the secrets they're keeping may start costing lives . . . MORE PRAISE FOR THE JULY GIRLS: 'I loved Phoebe Locke's last book, but this one is even better.

In the shadows

Un omicidio insensato. Una leggenda terrificante. Un segreto sepolto nel passato. Era solo una favoletta per bambini. Finché non divenne un incubo Era l'anno 2000. Ha solo pochi giorni la piccola Amber quando una notte sua madre Sadie si alza dal letto, si dirige verso la porta e abbandona lei e il marito Miles. Una scomparsa volontaria e proprio per questo ancor più inspiegabile. Eppure Sadie non è impazzita. Non è depressa. Non è spaventata dalla responsabilità. Sadie ha paura. La stessa paura che aveva da ragazzina.
