Chantilly Dawns
by Lissa Oliver

From James Tait Award and Longman History Award nominee, Lissa Oliver, comes a gripping horseracing thriller.

When top jockey Marcel Dessaint loses his racing licence, his whole world falls apart. Accused of deliberately pulling up healthy horses, Marcel is passed a verdict of ‘Gross Misconduct’ and forced to face the enmity of his peers. With a famous face and nowhere to hide in Chantilly, Marcel becomes an outcast in the only world he knows.

With The Derby now out of his reach, he struggles to overcome his own self-doubt, while battling to uncover the truth behind the horses’ defeats and clear his name.

As he gradually fears he may have been betrayed by one of his closest friends, he discovers all too late that it’s not just his licence on the line. Lives are at stake…

When I saw this image I thought of The Pink Cage by Derbhile Dromey. The book is about Astrid Johnson, a 26-year-old freelance proof-reader and DJ who has eyes that do their own thing. Astrid inhabits two distinct worlds: a world of beats and flashing lights, and a world of dusty books and seawater.

With its pulsing soundtrack and disembodied electronic voices, The Pink Cage is a novel that you can hear as well as see. If you like books that expose the extraordinary worlds hidden beneath the surface of ordinary life, you will love this book.

If you like reading on your eReader you’re in luck; The Pink Cage is available from amazon.com in eBook format.
