The Daughters of the Dead

Book 2 : Lucy E Hawksmoor

Released: January 2023

Lucy is nearer now than ever to finding out what happened to Boabdil, but each step closer to her goal brings her life into greater danger. Her enemies on the far-right are finding terrifying ways to get what they want, and the stakes are getting higher for all involved. But then she meets the strange and secretive Daughters of the Dead – but do they really have her best interests at heart? Ultimately, Lucy realizes she must face the dangers alone, for unwittingly, only she holds the key to what happened 600 years ago in Granada. She fears she may have trusted one person too many, and in a nail-biting climax, she realizes she could bring both her world and the past tumbling down.

"The author knows his Spain. Great pace. An unusual backdrop for the story which had different characters well drawn. Great first novel!"
"Preciosa novel political / detectivesca on un trasfondo histórico muy bien documentado y unos personajes interesantes. Espero la segundo parte! Muy recomendable!"
"Couldn’t put it down. Vivid descriptions of both past and present that make you feel as if you are watching it not reading it."
"This high octane thriller is well researched and imbued with as much Spanish history as contemporary tensions in Europe. Bradbury is making political writing a modern art form."
"His knowledge of history, food, and culture blend into the story as he takes you from past to present day Spain. I could see it as a film but not sure if they could do it justice."
"I read it in one sitting– couldn’t put it down. It has a little of everything; murder, mystery, politics & religion."
