Nobody wants to believe that Grace Peltier committed suicide: not Curtis, her father; not former state senator Jack Mercier; and not private detective Charlie `Bird' Parker, who has been hired to investigate the circumstances of her death.
But when a mass grave in northern Maine reveals the final resting place of the Aroostook Baptists, a religious community that disappeared almost forty years earlier, Parker realises that their deaths and the violent passing of Grace Peltier are part of the same mystery, one that has its roots in her family history and in the origins of the shadowy organisation known as the Fellowship.
For before she died, Grace Peltier stole something from the Fellowship, a relic capable of linking it to decades of violence and the slaughter of the Aroostook Baptists, and now someone has been sent to recover it. Lied to, intimidated and haunted by visions of a small, stray boy, Parker's search for the truth behind Grace's death draws him into a series of increasingly violent confrontations with the Fellowship's enforcer, the demonic arachnophile known as Mr Pudd.
Aided and abetted by the genial killers Angel and Louis, Parker must descend into the depths of a honeycomb world populated by dark angels and lost souls, a world where the ghosts of the dead wait for justice and the unwary are prey for the worst kind of creatures.

You will never listen to the world the same way again . . . Grounded in an ancient musical paradox, Natasha Mostert's thrilling second novel is a tour-de-force of mystery and violence.
It is the most compelling music ever invented. Born of a wildly successful computer game, Angel music has taken the world by storm. Some worry about the way it hypnotises its listeners; others, that its addicts can become violent - but most are simply captivated by its beauty.
Behind the music from the computer game called The Angels' Key are three brilliant young men. Their goal is to create a perfect musical scale, and with the help of the enormous computing power the game's addicts bring when they play it, they are getting very close to success. Soon, the music's hold grows ever stronger, the musical scale comes closer and closer to perfection - and the world comes to the brink of an unimaginable catastrophe. One that can only be averted by an unimaginable sacrifice.

`Mostert eschews the usual murder-mystery cliches in favour of murky, gloomily-lit suspense, painting a Dickensian picture of foggy London that is as compelling as the unfolding drama. Bedtime reading for the brave.' The Times - Fresh Talent

This astonishing debut novel comes like a reward at the end of the year.
A series of murders, carrying the hallmarks of a serial killer, shatters the peace and hits the headlines of Spokane in Washington. As the small police team struggle to catch the man they suspect, they find it increasingly difficult to work around the headline grabbing 'profilers' and other specialists drafted in to help. The elusive murderer, seems to constantly dance out of their reach.
For Sergeant Dupree and Detective Caroline Mabrey, whose relationship is as out of focus as their target, it is a job that carries more than its fair share of tensions. The killer seems to have singled out Caroline for his attention. This increases Dupree's anxiety, but somewhere in the muddle of it all, tired and seemingly outclassed by new methods of detection, he is taken off the case, leaving Caroline even more vulnerable.
Then, suddenly, the answers slip-into place and the villains step out of the shadows - just at the time the detective's colleagues are playing to the media gallery. She is left to recognise, confront and defeat them. She and a worryingly wayward Dupree...

Over Tumbled Graves is an impressive piece of writing. There is sadness, humanity and humour alongside the many twists and turns of a deliciously satisfying plot.
