A stirring book for anyone who longs to run away to the woods sometimes.
You will find a bothy in the mountains or the wilderness, remote huts you can’t reserve, usually without electricity or other mod-cons, running water or a marker on the map.
In this beautiful journey, Kat Hill travels between fifteen bothies – across Scotland, England and Wales – revealing the beauty of these wild shelters, their history, the stories of the people who frequent them and the core of why we all crave escaping into the remote.
Weaving in her own story of heartbreak and new purpose, her historian’s perspective and brilliant, fresh consideration of the environment and what we owe to it, this is a glorious book of adventure and peace, wilderness and refuge.
The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations
Bristol, 1979.
A sexual predator roams the streets…
Young women are warned not to go out alone…
Enter the Decoys.
For several years, a prolific predator haunted the city of Bristol, UK. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting.
In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced – unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – volunteered to put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait.
Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history.

“All the characters jump off the page…what we have here is a very fine novel.” Historical Novel Society
She’s been painted out of history…until now
Who tells her story?
In 1890, Vincent Van Gogh dies penniless, unknown, a man tortured by his own mind.
Eleven years later his work is exhibited in Paris and his unparalleled talent finally recognised. The tireless efforts of one woman gave the world one of its greatest creative minds.
But twenty-eight year old Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, Vincent’s sister-in-law and the keeper of his immense collection of paintings, sketches and letters, has, until now, been written out of history. This beautiful, moving novel finally gives this extraordinary woman a voice…
