Happy Publication Day in paperback to @linandersonwriter and @alisonbelsham - and happy reading to crime fiction fans everywhere.
In The Innocent Dead, a child’s remains are discovered in a peat bog south of Glasgow and forensic scientist Rhonda MacLeod uses new advances in her field to solve a decades-old mystery of a missing girl.
And in The Embalmer, a mummified body at the Brighton Museum of Natural History is discovered to be not ancient, but a recent victim. Detective Francis Sullivan is caught in a race against time to find the identity of The Embalmer.

RIGHTS ANNOUNCEMENT From today's BookBrunch

Two Roads will publish Maggie Ritchie’s 'utterly compelling' novel Daisy Chain, set in pre-war Glasgow and 1920s Shanghai. Publisher Lisa Highton acquired UK & Commonwealth rights from Jenny Brown at Jenny Brown Associates.

Inspired by the lives of pioneering women artists the Glasgow Girls, Daisy Chain is a sweeping and atmospheric story of feminism, friendship and creativity which takes the reader from the wealth and poverty of early 20th century Glasgow to the glamour and dissolution of 1920s colonial Shanghai.
Lily Crawford and Jeanie Taylor, from very different backgrounds, are firm friends from their childhoods in Kirkcudbright. They share their ambitions for their futures, Lily to be an artist, Jeanie to be a dancer. The two women's eventful lives are intertwined but they lose touch when Jeanie flees domestic abuse and joins a dance company, while Lily attends The Mack, Glasgow's famous school of art designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. A chance meeting brings them back together and on to the glamour of 1920s Shanghai, where they must resort to desperate measures to ensure their safety.

Ritchie said: "I’m so pleased that Two Roads will be publishing Daisy Chain, which gave me the chance to explore two worlds I find equally fascinating: turn-of-the-century Glasgow where women artists were at the forefront of the new Glasgow Style, and jazz-era Shanghai with its hedonistic demi-monde. Living in a city that retains much of its artistic and architectural past and a research trip to Shanghai’s beautifully preserved French quarter, allowed me to go back in time and follow in the footsteps of the Glasgow Girls."

Ritchie is a Glasgow-based journalist and novelist. Her debut novel, Paris Kiss (Saraband, 2015), won the Curtis Brown Prize, and was runner up for the Sceptre Prize. Her second novel, Looking for Evelyn, was shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize for Best Published Novel 2018. Daisy Chain is published in hardback, eBook and audiobook on 10 June 2021. ... See MoreSee Less
