Hurdle
The Tenderness of Wolves
Stef Penney
As winter tightens its grip on the isolated settlement of Dove River, a woman
steels herself for the journey of a lifetime. A man has been brutally murdered
and her 17-year old son has disappeared. To clear her son's name, she has no
choice but to follow the tracks leaving the dead man's cabin.

Marathon
Darkmans
Nicola Barker
If history is just a sick joke, then who exactly is telling it and why? Could it
be John Scogin, Edward IV's court jester, whose favourite pastime was to burn
people alive? Or is it Andrew Boarde, Henry VIII's physician, who kindly wrote
Scogin's biography? This is a modern tale about two familiar subjects - love and
jealousy.
