One cold winter's morning, 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, finds the gun she's kept hidden all this time, and leaves for London, determined to find Jimmy and make him pay. But there’s another side to this story and nothing is at it seems. Birdie is about to enter a world of family secrets, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals.

Listeners LOVE The Sunshine Man:

'Salter’s crisp English accent for Birdie works in contrast to Rowe’s West Country speech for Jimmy. Both narrators use a variety of pitches and additional accents for other characters of varying ages. Rowe and Salter expertly navigate the quickening pace of this story of loss and revenge' – AudioFile

'A compelling tight thriller with heart' ***** 'Hits you right between the eyes' ***** 'Brilliantly written with twists and turns' *****
