Next thing she knows she’s socializing with the Purcells, a rich, eccentric family with a penchant for going crazy and/or dying in spectacularly mysterious ways. From what Jane can tell, the Purcells all want Orchid Purcell’s money. And when Orchid turns up in a pool of blood, the free-for-all has just begun. Then when Jane finds a second body, it seems weird city is about to get even weirder—and a lot more deadly… In her second smash outing, Nancy Bush's wickedly funny heroine, Jane Kelly, proves herself a worthy successor to Stephanie Plum, but with a wit, style, and dog that are definitely all her own. “With her clever ability to handle the zaniest of life’s circumstances, Jane won’t disappoint readers.”—Publishers Weekly “Move over Stephanie Plum, Jane Kelly has arrived!”—Lisa Jackson, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of You Betrayed Me “[A] funny, feisty, immensely likable new heroine.”—Laura Levine, author of Death of a Gigolo

But what's it actually like to have a heroic ex-cop as a Dad? Paul and John delve into their unique father--son relationship and how they ended up so different to each other.

Blood


Book Description

'BLOOD is a virtuoso work: the writing sinewy and beautiful. . . the integrity of vision coruscating; the whole driven by the author's restless experimentation with form. And at least two stories, 'Blood' itself and 'Fearless', will certainly end up in anthologies: not Best Scottish Writers, or Best Women Writers, but quite simply, Best' New Statesman and Society. 'I remember reading a story by Janice Galloway for the first time; its urgency of voice, that certainty of expression, I wondered why I hadn't heard of her before; then discovered that she was altogether new to writing. It was some debut. She really is a fine writer' James Kelman 'Blood is a virtuoso work: the writing sinewy and beautiful...the integrity of vision coruscating; the whole driven by the author's restless experimentation with form.

A writer of passion and virtuosity shines through' Scotland on Sunday 'Genuinely unnerving...she is a fierce, troubling new writer' Observer 'Galloway flecks her hard-edged realism with impressionist grace-notes, a potent mixture that confirms her...as one of Scotland's best young writers' Sunday Telegraph 'There is ample proof in Blood of Galloway's unassailable talent.
