About the book

‘The week I shot a man clean through the head began like any other . . .’

From Emma Stonex, the bestselling author of 
The Lamplighters, comes The Sunshine Man, a tangled mystery about a terrible crime and a revenge plotted over decades.

'A deeply thrilling and emotionally rich page-turner. One of my books of the year' - Lucy Clarke
'Fiendishly gripping' - Rosie Walsh

In January 1989, Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear. Jimmy Maguire, the man who killed her sister, has been freed from jail. Birdie leaves for London with a gun and a plan: to find him and make him pay. But there’s another side to the story, and she’s about to enter a world of family lies, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals.

Did Jimmy kill Birdie’s sister, or is he the only one she can really trust? And when the truth is finally revealed, will she choose forgiveness – or retribution?

A heart-stopping new novel of murky shared pasts and a fury-fueled present, 
The Sunshine Man is a thrilling cat and mouse chase set against the salt-drenched backdrop of England’s south coast, from bestselling author Emma Stonex.

Emma Stonex

Emma Stonex grew up in Northamptonshire, about as far from the sea as it’s possible to be in the UK. Her love affair with lighthouses and the coast began with childhood holidays to Cornwall and the Isle of Wight, which remain among her favourite places to visit.

Before becoming a writer, Emma worked as an editor in publishing. Ahead of THE LAMPLIGHTERS, she wrote several books under pseudonyms, but saved her real name for the story that had always been in her heart: the real-life mystery of three lighthouse keepers who vanished from their rock light in 1900 and to this day have never been found.

She lives in Bristol with her husband and two young daughters.
