 Having been on several blog tours to celebrate the author Sarah Sultoon, I am delighted to be part of the launch  for her latest thriller, Death Flight which will be published on 29th January by Orenda Books. I am fortunate to be able to offer a great giveaway - a print copy of Death Flight. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post. First. here's a little about the book:

Argentina. 1998. Human remains are found on a beach on the outskirts of Buenos Aires – a gruesome echo of when the tide brought home dozens of mutilated bodies thrown from planes during Argentina’s Dirty War. Flights of death, with passengers known as The Disappeared. 

International Tribune reporter Jonny Murphy is in Buenos Aires interviewing families of the missing, desperate to keep their memory alive, when the body turns up. His investigations with his companion, freelance photographer Paloma Glenn, have barely started when Argentina's simmering financial crisis explodes around them.

But Jonny is also fighting something else, an echo from his own past that he'll never shake, and as it catches up with him and Paloma, he must make choices that will endanger everything he knows…
