Down Cemetery Road
ByPublisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Slow Horses and now an Original Series from Apple TV starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson.
Diamond Dagger winner Mick Herron's debut novel introduces Sarah Tucker, whose search for a missing child unravels a murderous conspiracy.
This deluxe edition of a modern classic includes a foreword by Emma Thompson and discussion questions for book clubs.
It’s an evening like any other when an explosion rips through the leafy Oxford suburb Sarah Tucker calls home. In the aftermath, a house now stands devastated, with two adults dead and a young girl missing.
Frustrated by the police, who seem more interested in keeping the neighbors from rubbernecking than in searching for the missing child, Sarah becomes obsessed with finding her, and enlists the help of Oxford private investigator Zoë Boehm. But their search reveals more secrets than answers. As Zoë and Sarah draw closer to the truth, they are caught in a web of conspiracy and come up against government forces, cold-blooded mercenaries and vengeful loners.
Down Cemetery Road, the first book in the Zoë Boehm series, is CWA Diamond Dagger winner Mick Herron’s debut novel.
