Join us for a captivating evening in the bookshop as we host Emma Stonex in conversation.
One of our best-selling books at the Edge of the World Bookshop has been Emma's book The Lamplighters so we are really excited to hear more about her new novel The Sunshine Man, a tangled mystery about a terrible crime and revenge plotted over decades.
'The week I shot a man clean through the head began like any other . . .’
About the Book
In January 1989, Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear. Jimmy Maguire, the man who killed her sister, has been freed from jail. Birdie leaves for London with a gun and a plan: to find him and make him pay. But there’s another side to the story, and she’s about to enter a world of family lies, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals.
Did Jimmy K*ll Birdie’s sister, or is he the only one she can really trust? And when the truth is finally revealed, will she choose forgiveness – or retribution? A heart-stopping new novel of murky shared pasts and a fury-fueled present, The Sunshine Man is a thrilling cat and mouse chase set against the salt-drenched backdrop of England’s south coast, from bestselling author Emma Stonex.
