Today, I am waiting on:
Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil by Melina Marchetta
From Goodreads:
Bashir “Bish” Ortley is a London desk cop. Almost over it. Still not deaing with the death of his son years ago, as well as the break up of his marriage.
Across the channel, a summer bus tour, carrying a group of English teenagers is subject to a deadly bomb attack, killing four of the passengers and injuring a handful of others. Bish’s daughter is one of those on board.
The suspect is 17 year old Violette LeBrac whose grandfather was responsible for a bombing that claimed the lives of dozens of people fourteen years ago; and whose mother, Noor, has been serving a life sentence for the part she was supposed to have played in the attack.
As Bish is dragged into the search for the missing Violette, he finds himself reluctantly working with Noor LeBrac and her younger brother, Jimmy Sarraf.
And the more he delves into the lives of the family he helped put away, the more Bish realizes that they may have got it wrong all those years ago, and that truth wears many colours. Especially when it comes to the teenagers on board the recent bus bombing. Including his daughter.
Tell the truth. Shame the devil. Bish can’t get Violette LeBrac’s words out of his head. But what he may get is some sort of peace with his own past as the worlds of those involved in two bombings, years apart, collide into the journey of his life.
I would always be excited by a new Melina Marchetta and this one sounds amazing! Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil is scheduled to be released on October 11, 2016, and I can't wait to read it!

ReplyDeleteSorry I've been so out of it lately. I've been gone the last two weekends, (well more than the weekend Thurs-Sunday San Francisco and then Palm Springs for Stagecoach) and I'm just playing catch up in between. I'm so tired and I got sick with a sore throat and cold on Sunday night. :( I'm totally shot now, lol! I'm slowly making my rounds. :)
I've been wondering what you thought of The Raven King. I need to start listening to that soon. :)
I hope you feel better soon R! Going to send you a message on GR to catch up!!
