The Sunshine Man

Gripping, emotional and charged with tension, The Sunshine Man is a powerful story of reckoning and revenge, set against the haunting beauty of rural Devon - from the bestselling author of The Lamplighters , Emma Stonex.

Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear: Jimmy Maguire - the man who murdered her sister - is out of prison.

She sends her children to school, picks up a gun, and leaves for London with one purpose: to find Jimmy and make him pay.

But there’s another side to this story, and Birdie is about to enter a world of family lies, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals . . .
