‘The week I shot a man clean through the head began like any other . . .’
In January 1989, Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear. Jimmy Maguire, the man who killed her sister, has been freed from jail.
Birdie leaves for London with a gun and a plan: to find him and make him pay. But this is a story with two sides. For Jimmy knew Birdie a long time ago, in a life she’d sooner forget. Theirs is a past of broken bonds and friendships burned, and a terrible secret kept hidden in the shadows. Did Jimmy kill Birdie’s sister, or is he the only one she can really trust?
From the grit and grime of city nicks to wild and windswept moors, from the haunting beauty of the Cornish coast to the golden hills of Devon, Birdie’s journey carries her back to the fields of her childhood, where, out of the darkness, rises a startling, inescapable truth.
The Sunshine Man, Emma Stonex's second novel, is a breathtaking mystery about love and revenge, the many shades of justice and what it means to be free.
