I was thrilled to be invited to the launch of author William Ryan’s new novel The Twelfth Department. The event was held on Tuesday at the gorgeous bookstore Goldsboro Books by invitation of Pan Macmillan and Goldsboro Books. It was a fabulous evening.
The Twelfth Department is the third novel in William Ryan’s Captain Korolev series set in 1930s Russia.

Then his young son Yuri goes missing …
The Twelfth Department is published by MANTLE today, 23rd May 2013.
Watch this space for my review …

I found a great Thriller series to at an event much like the one you went to, it was for Jonelle Patrick and her latest book in her series’ Fallen Angel. I couldn’t put it down, and that is what I love! jonellepatrick.com is her site with all her books. I can’t
wait for your review!
