It is 1962. The Beatles have released 'Love Me Do' and John Glenn has orbited the Earth. But in this pit village in County Durham, everyone is looking back towards the traditions of the past . . . Except, that is, for Gloria, the local hair stylist. With her narrowskirts, low block heels and her Mini Cooper, Gloria is a modern woman -until she's found dead, floating in the coal-polluted shallows of a nearby pond. Gloria's young niece, Kathleen, finds the body but refuses to accept the suicide explanation embraced by the village. Gloria was optimistic and strong - she had everything to live for. Twelve-year-old Kathleen is shy and innocent but she keeps her eyes open, takes photographs with her Box Brownie camera and tries to work out what has happened. For under its surface monotony, the village is concealing a depth of secrets. And in doing so embarks upon her own journey of discovery.
Andrea Badenoch lives in Newcastle upon Tyne where she lectures part time and co-edits Writing Women, an annual anthology of new stories. Her first novel Mortal, was described as a gritty and compelling thriller. Her second book Driven was recently published by Macmillan. Her third novel Blink which is a murder story is set in County Durham in 1963.
Daily Telegraph

Jake Arnott
'Shockingly atmospheric and evocative.'
Helen Dunmore
'Badenoch brilliantly combines atmosphere, suspense and emotion as she uncovers the secrets of this mining village, doubly shadowed by an obsessive murderer.'
