The gripping new twisty psychological thriller from international bestselling author, Sebastian Fitzek.

Milan Berg is standing at a set of traffic lights when a car stops next to him. In the back seat he sees a frightened young girl. Desperate, she presses a piece of paper against the window.

Milan's search for the kidnapped girl brings a cruel realisation: sometimes the truth is too terrible to live with - and ignorance is the greatest gift on earth.

With a twisty non-linear storyline that charts one man's descent into a real-life nightmare, The Gift is perfect for fans of Chris Carter and Lars Kepler.

Beware a well-read murderer...

A bookseller is found dead in his shop on a quiet square in Bristol, surrounded by rare books, first editions and a shocking amount of blood.

DS George Cross, usually the first to spot holes in a suspect's story, is distracted. His father's recent diagnosis has left him unsettled, relying on others in a way he is not comfortable with. It's impacting the case – and himself – more than he'd like to admit.
