    "In this unsettling, timely, and explosive novel, one of the UK's most admired and celebrated writers gives us a portrait of an ordinary man in an extraordinary dilemma, and asks questions that could be transformed, if only we could see through the illusions and disinformation that have us in their grasp. It's February 2019. Philip Notman, a respected academic with a German wife and a troubled nineteen-year-old son, is on his way back from a conference in Norway when he has an unexpected and disturbing experience that completely alters his view of the world. In an instant, the reality that he has always taken for granted becomes unbearable. Believing that Ines, a Spanish woman he met at the conference, can shed light on what he is feeling, he travels to Cadiz to see her. But his journey doesn't end there. In a progress that involves both the exploration of an idea and a quest for a simpler and more meaningful existence, he winds up in a small village on the south coast of Crete. Gradually, and yet inexorably, a drastic course of action occurs to him. He returns to London, knowing exactly what he must do, even if it ruins his life and the lives of those closest to him. How much are we prepared to sacrifice for our beliefs? Can love take second place to an idea? Is it possible to find a more authentic way of living?"--

    In the late 80s, Katherine Carlyle is created using IVF. Stored as a frozen embryo for eight years, she is then implanted in her mother and given life. By the age of nineteen Katherine has lost her mother to cancer, and feels her father to be an increasingly distant figure. Instead of going to college, she decides to disappear, telling no one where she has gone. What begins as an attempt to punish her father for his absence gradually becomes a testing-ground of his love for her, a coming-to-terms with the death of her mother, and finally the mise-en-scene for a courageous leap from false empowerment to true empowerment.Written in the beautifully spare, lucid and cinematic prose that Thomson is known for, Katherine Carlyle uses the modern techniques of IVF and cryopreservation to throw new light on the myth of origins. It is a profound and moving novel about where we come from, what we make of ourselves, and how we are loved.

    Billy Tyler en midaldrende engelsk politibetjent bliver sendt ud til kapellet på et sygehus i Suffolk. Han skal i de næste tolv timer - fra syv aften til syv morgen - holde vagt over liget af en berygtet barnemorderske. Overvåge og sørge for at der ikke sker noget som Billys overordnede udtrykker det. Som garvet betjent er Billys tilgang til opgaven naturligvis strengt professionel. Det er jo bare en opgave. Men efterhånden som natten skrider frem begynder den døde kvindes tilstedeværelse alligevel at krybe ind under huden på ham. Samtidig trænger Billys egne bekymringer sig på: Karrieren i politiet er for længst gået i stå ægteskabet knager og problemerne med en handicappet datter gør ikke tingene nemmere.En morders død er baseret på en virkelig historie der tager sin begyndelse i 1960´erne hvor en ung kvinde sammen med sin kæreste torterede og myrdede fem mindre børn. Parret blev idømt livstidsstraf. Kvinden døde i november 2002 efter et langt liv i fængsel. Aviserne var fulde af artikler om kvinden som blev omtalt som "en syg morder" - "et monster" - og hendes navn synonymt med ondskab.
