Michael Terence Publishing has announced the release of a new crime novel titled "It's a Thin Division," authored by Angela Mary Broad. The book is set to be available in both paperback and digital formats, marking another addition to the publishing house's roster of titles.
"It's a Thin Division" tells the story of Ellen, a woman who, at the age of five, is adopted by Frank and Harriet, a charismatic and distant couple. The narrative unfolds as the family moves between the sun-drenched beaches of Majorca and the grey streets of northeast England, weaving a tale of secrets, betrayals, and tragedy. A traumatic explosion later tears the family apart, leaving Ellen injured, orphaned, and alone.
Years later, Ellen reinvents herself as a respectable teacher, but her marriage to Walter, a controlling American, forces her to return to the shadows of her past. Forced to adopt the name "Helena," she develops an unsettling way of coping with cruelty. The novel takes a dark turn when Ellen is finally reunited with her long-lost brother, Paul, nearly five decades later. This reunion unveils the truth about her strange and dreadful behavior, leading to a shocking final act that leaves the police and those who thought they knew her stunned.
The book is described as a moving and immersive crime story, centered around themes of identity, trauma, and the quiet violence of a life lived behind masks. Notable for its compelling narrative, "It's a Thin Division" has been praised by best-selling novelist and award-winning journalist Nikki Gemmell, who states, "A novel that gets under your skin and won’t let you go!"
