After winning the 2011 Arthur C. Clarke award, Lauren Beukes’ new highly anticipated thriller ‘The Shining Girls’ is set to be released on Thursday 25th April 2013.
The book is available to pre-order at Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0007464568/
It is 1931 and Harper, a violent down-and-out, is living in a hand-to-mouth existence in the suburbs of Hooverville, Chicago.
Following a murder, he’s hounded out by a vigilante group and finds refuge in a mysterious house. On the outside, this seems an uninhabitable ruin, but inside it is offers something quite unusual.
Harper gains access to different times and offers him a visionary insight to his ‘shining girls’. A collection of women, across time, who’re set to become his latest victims. He visits them as children, as teenagers and finally as an adult, where he lays them to rest leaving an anachronistic clue on their bodies.
A serial killer who should be undetectable – until he picks on the wrong victim. In 1992 wild child Kirby Mazrachi, a clever, punkish misfit who miraculously survives his vicious attack, vows to track him down. With his very existence impossible to track, how can she ever find him?
