Stormswept, the fifth in the series Chronicles of Ingo, is published this month.   Set on an island off the Cornish coast, it tells the story of twin sisters Jenna and Morveren, and their encounter with the Mer boy Malin, who has been thrown up onto the dunes by a ferocious storm.  But when the worlds of Air and Ingo meet, there is always conflict ... and danger ...

The Greatcoat will be published on 2 February 2012 by Hammer Books. It is a ghost story set during and after the Second World War, about the power of the past to imprint itself on the present, and possess it.

The Betrayal is  out in Penguin paperback.  

Leningrad in 1952, a city recovering from war. Andrei, a hospital doctor, and Anna, a nursery teacher, are forging a life together. They try to avoid coming to the attention of the authorities, but their private happiness is precarious. Stalin is still in power, and when Andrei has to treat the seriously-ill child of a senior secret police officer, he and Anna are caught  in a web of betrayal.

'The Betrayal is a beautifully written and deeply moving story about fear, loss, love and honesty amid the demented lies of Stalin's last days. I literally could not put it down.'  Antony Beevor
