A Tudor Mommie Dearest, Frances hardens her heart against Jane for failing to be born male. A minor throughout, Jane is subject to the whims of corrupt and ambitious adults bent on exploiting her bloodline to advance their own agenda. In setting her first novel around Lady Jane, daughter of Henry VIII’s niece, Frances, Weir must surmount two major historical constraints first, that Jane’s fate is known, and second, that Jane, though precocious and unusually well-schooled for a girl of the time, is a necessarily passive character. Who better to rehabilitate her than Weir ( Queen Isabella, 2005, etc.), author of numerous works of popular history, five of which concern the Tudor dynasty.

The UK hardback will be available on July 31 and the international English ebook and US hardback will appear on November 1. Agent: Alice Lutyens, Curtis Brown (U.K.). By David Hewson ApAfter a nine-year break Nic Costa is back this year, with a brand new title The Savage Shore, set in Calabria, appearing from Severn House. Readers will hope to see less padding and fewer digressions in Nic’s next outing. Long excerpts from a guide book called Calabrian Tales offer fanciful explanations for the development of the ’Ndrangheta and Italy’s other criminal brotherhoods, musings on mythology and paganism, and some potted history. That they talk loudly in a local restaurant about the case while disguised as tourists belies their supposed competence. and atmospheric read that kept me utterly gripped SIMON KERNICK Hewson. Nic and his crew must find and arrest a “mysterious figure in the hierarchy of the ’Ndrangheta, who would turn pentito, state witness, and take down any number of crooks and fellow travelers.” In addition, he promises to turn in “the head of the combined Sicilian mobs.” Nic infiltrates the ’Ndrangheta with surprising ease, while his fellow police officers provide backup of sorts. Hewson’s tedious 10th Nic Costa thriller (after 2011’s Fallen Angel) transports the police detective and his team from Rome to Calabria, the home of a network of gangsters known as the ’Ndrangheta. |
