The truth about the night  

 

The latest novel. Published by Harper Collins.

"Martyn Burke offers a master class in timing and subtlety....the answers come, pulling us into the characters' dilemmas, making us care, keeping us turning the pages...With so much drama, information and emotion packed into fewer than 350 pages, The Truth About Night remains with you long after the last line is read." Toronto Globe and Mail

"This is a beautifully written novel." Quill & Quire
