    Raynor knows that her husband Moth’s health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure: the healing power of walking.

  • The Extra Mile: The Inspirational Number One Bestseller

    08

    THE INSPIRATIONAL NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

    The extraordinary memoir of the sporting icon, devoted friend and fundraising hero who has inspired the nation in his fight against MND

    ‘An inspirational and life-affirming read. What Kevin Sinfield has achieved on and off the field is truly remarkable. His inspiring leadership and relentless focus on fundraising for MND shows how we should all strive to care more for each other’ Gareth Southgate

    ‘If you want inspiring, uplifting and empowering… give this amazing man some of your time’ Jake Humphrey

    ‘Kevin Sinfield is adored and respected . . . he is the best of men’ Brian Moore, Daily Telegraph

    ‘I’ve always thought Kevin Sinfield was a hero. His quiet, calm, committed leadership makes people want to support him and we are all doing that as he supports Rob Burrow and everyone living with MND’ Clare Balding

    ‘The friendship between Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow gives you faith in humankind’ Sir Chris Hoy

    The Extra Mile is no ordinary sports memoir. But Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary sportsman. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defence coach for the England national rugby union team, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and extraordinary fundraising for motor neurone disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow.

    Sinfield’s epic challenges have included running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days, and running over 101 miles in 24 hours. In the process, Sinfield has captured the hearts of the nation and over £7 million for MND. He was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday honours for his efforts, along with the Freedom of Leeds and a special BBC Award for his fundraising.

    Told with Sinfield’s characteristic warmth, dry wit and inspirational leadership, The Extra Mile is the story of an astonishing life, of an enduring friendship, of perseverance against the most difficult of challenges, and of a remarkable, humble human being who has defied the odds. The book equips readers with the tools and the mindset to embrace togetherness and to overcome their own challenges. It leaves the reader with the urgent question: Who would you go the extra mile for to help in life?

    PRAISE FOR KEVIN SINFIELD
    ‘Inspirational does not do him justice, he’s that and much, much more’ Matt Dickinson

    ‘Kevin Sinfield is an incredible human being’ Gabby Logan

    ‘A total hero’ Yvette Cooper

    ‘Britain’s greatest sportsman (off the pitch) … Kevin Sinfield’s fundraising is a poignant story of friendship and human endeavour’ The Times

  • Eye for An Eye: The brand-new book club thriller that will get everyone talking

    08

    OUR MOST NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS HAVE HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.
    UNTIL NOW…

    ‘Emily’ is a devoted single mother.

    ‘Jack’ starts a new job in a new town.

    They both share the same secret:
    neither of them are who they say they are.

    They are among only nine criminals in the UK who have been granted lifelong anonymity, for their own safety, because of their terrible crimes.

    But what if someone exposed their true identities to the families of their victims, who are desperate for revenge?

    Probation officer Olivia Campbell is caught in the crossfire of this crisis – and as the search for the mole behind it all intensifies, so too does the hunt for the vigilante killers let loose by the leaks…

    RIGHT OR WRONG?
    CRIMINAL OR VICTIM?
    REDEMPTION OR REVENGE?
