Knave of Diamonds is out now and available on our website via the link in our bio.

When Mary Russell was a child, she adored her Uncle Jake, the black sheep of the family. But she hasn’t heard from him in many years, until he presents himself at her door with an abundance of problems for his clever niece to deal with. Not the least of which is the reason the family rejected him in the first place: his involvement in the infamous disappearance of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle in 1907.

It was a theft that shook a government, enraged a King and threatened the establishment. Juggling conflicting loyalties and international secrets, Russell is entangled in the web of a case that not even the great Sherlock Holmes could solve.

To celebrate National Crime Reading Month, we are taking you back in time to discover the breadth of crime fiction Allison & Busby offers.

Introducing @christina.koning, author of the Blind Detective Series, on @bodiesinthebookshop

On first visiting Bodies in the Bookshop — the Cambridge bookshop specialising in all types of crime fiction (“Specialists in Murder” as the legend on the shop’s window puts it ) — one might be forgiven for thinking that it had been there for a very long time. The building, in St Botolph’s Lane, dates back to the sixteenth century. There is even a resident ghost. Bodies in the Bookshop looks so much a part of the street — and has become so essential a resource — that it is hard to believe it was established less than a year ago, by Richard Reynolds and Jon Gifford, who run the shop and provide expert advice on what to buy if you are a crime fiction aficionado (or likely to become one). I love browsing in Bodies in the Bookshop because it seems to me to provide the prefect combination of informed advice (thank you, Richard) and freedom to make one’s own discoveries that is the hallmark of a good bookshop. There is a wonderfully stocked secondhand section upstairs, for those who prefer their murder mysteries to be of the vintage variety; while both upstairs and downstairs have a vast selection of new and contemporary crime, encompassing hardboiled, cosy, crime in translation, Golden Age, historical and Cambridge-set crime. I should also mention that BitB stocks all the books in my own Blind Detective crime fiction series. It may come as no surprise that the one that sells best is ‘Murder in Cambridge’.

Introducing Barbara Nadel on @newhambookshop

Plaistow, London E13 is not exactly glamorous but we have a certain magic which, for me, is centered on a bookshop at the heart of the community.
The Newham Bookshop sits on the corner of the Barking Road and Green Street which used to be thronged with thousands of West Ham United fans, but now the club have moved to the Olympic Stadium at Stratford, that no longer happens. As a child going to the match with my family on a Saturday, I would buy my sweets and programme from a Green Street shop that was actually the owner's front room. This often happened after we'd spent the morning dipping in and out of junk shops looking for things we might be able to sell to make 'a few bob' while snacking on chapatis from Asian cafes and take away shops.
My favourite bookshop was founded in 1978 and very quickly established itself as part of the local community. It's always been and remains a book lovers paradise. Its books cover every topic you can imagine - and some you can't - and they sell books for both adults and children. Manager Vivian Archer and her staff are real book people, knowledgeable and passionate, and if they can't get a book in stock for you it probably doesn't exist.
However, this is no old-fashioned, sleepy bookshop. You can browse for hours undisturbed if you want to, but the Newham Bookshop is also a place people go to meet other like-minded folk, neighbours and friends. Over the years Vivian has made a huge number of contacts with local schools and community organisations, authors and venues like the Wanstead Tap who put on music, literary and other cultural events. This bookshop is a place where things get done as well as somewhere that provides space to think and dream. Some of my Hakim and Arnold novel plots have crystallised here and so for lovers of the series I feel a visit is a must.
All those years ago when I was a child searching for treasure in the junk shops of Green Street, I had no idea I'd actually find literary gold in a local bookshop two minutes from where I used to live.
