Imagine her horror when, as she sits with her husband over evening drinks, the phone rings and she learns that Graham has been killed by a terrorist bomb and Malcolm is in hospital, gravely injured.

This is a recipient of the CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger for outstanding service to Crime Fiction. In a time of uncertainty about safety, Detective Superintendent Harriet Martens spends her workdays assuring Birchester is as secure as possible.

Especially when she receives a telephone call informing her that her twin sons, both police constables, have been the victims of a terrorist trap, killing one and leaving the other in a coma. An uncannily timely and relevant mystery, "One Man and his Bomb" sees Harriet Martens struggling between her career, her family, and the lines that are drawn by patriotism and duty.
