Publication day for Lisa St Aubin de Terán's latest novel 'The Hobby'!
When police pay a visit to an elderly peeping tom, they stumble upon a loose thread that leads detective John Custer into a murky world of s*x crimes and serial killings, of hidden graves and socially impeccable pa******les. Ignoring the scepticism of his colleagues and superiors, Custer doggedly follows his intution that there really is something very wrong that needs to be discovered, however cold the trail seems to have become. Inspired by some of the many pa******le conspiracies that have been uncovered in recent years, and the cases of abused children, The Hobby is a psychological crime thriller, ranging from the fan club of a 1940s child star, through Istanbul and war-torn Burma and Cairo, to 1980s Britain. Custer and his assistant, Sergeant Jolly Campbell, seek to bring justice to the forgotten victims, while themselves going through their own quest for personal redemption.

Better Broken Than New✨

Award-winning novelist Lisa St Aubin de Terán retreated to northern Mozambique in 2004, discovering her African roots and founding a charity.

In her new memoir, she reveals the dramatic gaps, likening her journey to the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pieces are repaired with gold, showing a writer who's pursued her dreams for over half a century, even when they seemed out of reach.❤️
