Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear: Jimmy Maguire – the man who murdered her sister – is out of prison.
She sends her children to school, picks up a gun, and leaves for London with one purpose: to find Jimmy and make him pay.
But there’s another side to this story, and Birdie is about to enter a world of family lies, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals . . .
Gripping, emotional, and charged with tension, The Sunshine Man is a powerful story of reckoning and revenge, set against the haunting beauty of rural Devon, from bestselling author Emma Stonex.
