From the acclaimed author of the Thumping Good Read Award nominee BREAKHEART HILL – a haunting tale of psychological suspense and mystery.
Cook has long had a brilliant critical reputation, thanks to compelling mysteries such as Sacrificial Ground and Evidence of Blood. Now he has finally begun to reach a wider readership, following the breakthrough success of Breakheart Hill, shortlisted for the 1996 WH Smith Thumping Good Read Award.
In Mortal Memory, which he wrote immediately before Breakheart Hill, he takes the reader on another characteristically haunting journey of discovery, piecing together a crime from the past that still casts its shadow over the present. At the age of nine Steve Farris somehow survived when his father coolly murdered the rest of his family. When, years later, writer Rebecca Soltero interviews him about the tragedy, she gradually reawakens long-suppressed memories of his troubled childhood – until alarming parallels with his current situation begin to emerge.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
