Touchstone is in bookshops December 26!
Laurie King's long-awaited standalone novel, set in England during the General Strike of 1926. Harris Stuyvesant is an agent from the Bureau of Investigation, hot on the trail of an international terrorist.
Bennett Grey is a man with a gift, in hiding from what the world wants from him. You could call this a "country house political thriller." The book page is here. For upcoming events, see the events page.
