From Rankin’s Edinburgh to Connelly’s uncompromising LA, four gripping novels that follow detectives haunted by truths others would rather forget. TITLES: Ann Cleeves, 'The Sleeping and The Dead' + Michael Connelly, 'The Black Box' + Peter James, 'Dead Simple' + FREE Ian Rankin, 'The Hanging Garden'

These novels follow women who find themselves at a crossroads, whether on the dust-choked plains of 1930s America, in the shadow of wartime adventure or among the sunlit hills of Tuscany. Each story explores resilience, friendship and the quiet courage required to begin again, reminding us that the past has a habit of shaping the choices we make next.

 TITLES: Kristin Hannah, 'The Four Winds' + Kayte Nunn, 'The Last Reunion' + Lucy Score, 'Things We Never Got Over' + Santa Montefiore, 'The Temptation of Gracie'
