A heart-pounding, unputdownable psychological thriller with an astonishing twist When the past catches up, do you run and hide or stand and fight? When a woman is brutally attacked on a lonely country road by an escaped inmate from a nearby psychiatric hospital, Sergeant Davie Gray must track him down before he strikes again. But Gray is already facing a series of deaths connected to legal highs and a local fairground, as well as dealing with his girlfriend Marie's bizarre behaviour. As Gray investigates the crimes, he suspects a horrifying link between Marie and the man on the run - but how can he confront her when she's pushing him away? As a terrified Marie is pulled back into a violent past she thought she'd escaped, she makes an irrevocable decision. And when events come to a head at a house party on Willow Walk, can Gray piece together the puzzle in time to stop the sleepy town of Banktoun being rocked by tragedy once more? PRAISE FOR WILLOW WALK "Unflinching attention to detail lifts Holliday's inventive and compelling second Banktoun novel to a whole new level." - THE SUN, 4-stars "A compelling tale of obsession and dark secrets that grips you from the first chapter and holds you right through to the startling and dramatic conclusion." - AVA MARSH, author of Untouchable "Chillingly nuanced, pulse-poundingly suspenseful, and totally unputdownable." - CrimeThrillerGirl "The kind of book I adore discovering, one that stays with me long after I've finished." - JENNY BLACKHURST, author of How I Lost You "Tense, atmospheric and gripping from page one. A first-rate psychological thriller. - MASON CROSS, author of The Samaratin "Feverish and intense, Willow Walk is a worthy follow up to S.J.I. Holliday's highly regarded debut, Black Wood. A writer who doesn't flinch in the face of twisted impulses and unspeakable desires, few can match her for the creation of truly disturbing characters." - EVA DOLAN, author of After You Die "A brilliantly dark and twisted tale that expertly builds the tension until you find yourself biting your nails to the quick as the pages fly by." - STEVE CAVANAGH, author of The Defence "The writing is sublime and the storyline is darkly delicious with some thought-provoking themes and genuinely intriguing characters." - Liz Loves Books

The Willow Walk by Sinclair Lewis is about the crazy yet rich Jasper Holt who leads a double life. Excerpt: "From the drawer of his table Jasper Holt took a pane of window glass. He laid a sheet of paper on the glass and wrote, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party." He studied his round business college script and rewrote the sentence in a small finicky hand, that of a studious old man. Ten times he copied the words in that false pinched writing."

The breathtaking promise of the English countryside can lift even the heaviest spirits . . . Willow Armstrong, the once-famous “Queen of Weight Loss” and president of Pound Busters, succumbed to stress eating after her divorce. Now the scandal of getting caught on camera binging on pizza, and the internet-wide mocking of her new curves, may destroy her career. Add in a business advisor who drained her finances, and Willow is out of options—until she learns she’s inherited a house in England’s most picturesque locale, The Cotswolds. Willow’s trip across the pond to sell the property and salvage her company soon becomes its own adventure: the house, once owned by grandparents she never met, needs major work. Plus, single dad Owen Hughes, the estate’s resident groundskeeper and owner of a local tour outfit, isn’t thrilled about the idea of leaving . . . Yet as Willow proceeds with her plans, she’s sidetracked by surprising discoveries about her family’s history--and with Owen’s help, the area’s distinctive attractions. Soon, she’s even retracing her roots—and testing her endurance—amid the region’s natural beauty. And the more she delves into the past, the more clearly she sees herself, her future, and the way home . . .

In the spring of 1962, Captain Nathaniel Sylvester and his young bride, Grissel Brinley, stepped from their boat onto the narrow shore along GardinerAa's Creek. Nearby, in a clearing, stood a sturdy house, newly built of white oak timber from the surrounding forest. Shiploads of tiles and chimney bricks from Holland and household furnishings from England and Barbados had arrived during the preceding months. The Sylvesters would make Shelter Island their home. Shelter Island: A Nostalgic Journey takes us to early homes, churches, and stores, and introduces us to the people who shaped this community. With over two hundred images carefully selected from the archive of the Shelter Island Historical Society, this unprecedented volume will be treasured and enjoyed by resident and visitor alike.
