About the books

The Ledge by Christian White is a propulsive thriller that asks the question: How far would you go to help a friend? Alternating between then and now, it’s the story of four best friends and what happens when one of them goes missing. 

The Valley by Chris Hammer, features a page-turning plot, intriguing characters, and an evocative sense of place—another foray into the very best of detective fiction. Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic are back – as Nell is thrown into her most emotionally fraught investigation yet.

Written by masters of plot, both The Valley and The Ledge race towards a climax where nothing is as it seems.
