Description
'Luminously unsettling' - The Observer
'A deeply thrilling and emotionally rich page-turner' - Lucy Clarke
'A wholly original and immersive thriller' - Harriet Evans
Every shadow hides a secret.
One cold winter's morning, Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear: Jimmy Maguire - the man who murdered her sister - is out of prison.
She sends her children to school, finds the gun she's kept hidden all this time, and leaves for London, determined to find Jimmy and make him pay. But there’s another side to this story and nothing is at it seems. Birdie is about to enter a world of family secrets, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals.
Gripping, emotional, and charged with tension, The Sunshine Man is a powerful story of reckoning, set against the haunting beauty of rural Devon, from bestselling author Emma Stonex.
