Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Jstock (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, very slight lean, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy. 416pp, illustrated endpapers. The classic epistolary novel, told in text, emails and whatssapp messges. Everyone knows the sad story of the Alperton Angels, the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl and convinced her that her newborn baby was the Anti Christ. Believing they had a divine mission to kill the infant, they were only stopped when the girl came to her senses and called the police. The Angels committed suicide rather than stand trial, while mother and baby disappeared into the care system. Nearly two decades later, true crime author Amanda Bailey is writing a book on the Angels. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen and can finally be interviewed, if Amanda can find them, it will be the true crime scoop of the year, and will save her flagging career. But rival author Oliver Menzies is just as smart, better connected, and is also on the baby's trail. As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realise that what everyone thinks they know about the Angels is wrong. The truth is something much darker and stranger than they'd ever imagined. And the story of the Alperton Angels is far from over. A future classic.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Joe Wilson (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£14.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 419pp. When two English brothers take the helm of a Barbados sugar plantation, Washington Black, an eleven year old field slave, finds himself selected as personal servant to one of these men. The eccentric Christopher 'Titch' Wilde is a naturalist, explorer, scientist, inventor and abolitionist, whose single minded pursuit of the perfect aerial machine mystifies all around him. Titch's idealistic plans are soon shattered and Washington finds himself in mortal danger. They escape the island together, but then then Titch disappears and Washington must make his way alone, following the promise of freedom further than he ever dreamed possible. From the blistering cane fields of Barbados to the icy wastes of the Canadian Arctic, from the mud drowned streets of London to the eerie deserts of Morocco, 'Washington Black' teems with all the strangeness and mystery of life. Inspired by a true story, Washington Black is the extraordinary tale of a world destroyed and made whole again. A future classic, recently read on BBC Radio Four.

SIGNED, DATED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE 'To Ruthie, Many thanks for all your work on Iron Towns. Hope you're happy with the finished work - I am! 19/5/16. Anthony Cartwright'. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£12.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 280pp. The Iron Towns. Once the furnace heart of industrial England, now the valley is home only to fading dreams. Twenty years ago, Liam, Dee Dee, Goldie and Mark had life stretching ahead of them, dreams of stardom, young marriages, money in their pockets. None of them can undo what made it all unravel. Now Liam is playing out the end of a modest career at Irontown FC. As the club limps towards relegation and liquidation, Liam's mind turns to history and the past weighs heavily in the Iron Towns. The old steelworks rust, apple trees grow up through the abandoned factory floors and the land is haunted again by legends of the ancient kingdom of Mercia. Saxon princes, witches on the Heath, older myths creeping back to the edge of consciousness. But it is more recent legends that fill Liam's mind, the great footballers tattooed across his body, images of famous cup finals, moments etched in the collective memory, could redemption, greatness even, still wait for Liam and his friends, here among the crumbling estates and old dockyards? Quite scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).

SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, WITHOUT DEDICATION, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE. In almost 'as new' condition, not price clipped (£14.99), no other inscriptions, David's Bookshop 'Signed Copy' band, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 375pp, illustrated endpapers. It's time to solve the murder of the century. Forty years ago, Steven Smith found a copy of a famous children's book by disgraced author Edith Twyford, its margins full of strange markings and annotations. Wanting to know more, he took it to his English teacher Miss Iles, not realising the chain of events that he was setting in motion. Miss Iles became convinced that the book was the key to solving a puzzle, and that a message in secret code ran through all Twyford's novels. Then Miss Iles disappeared on a class field trip, and Steven has no memory of what happened to her. Now, out of prison after a long stretch, Steven decides to investigate the mystery that has haunted him for decades. Was Miss Iles murdered? Was she deluded? Or was she right about the code? And is it still in use today? Desperate to recover his memories and find out what really happened to Miss Iles, Steven revisits the people and places of his childhood. But it soon becomes clear that Edith Twyford wasn't just a writer of forgotten children's stories. The Twyford Code has great power, and he isn't the only one trying to solve it. Scarce signed.
