Young adult writer Catherine Webb was also known to pen great fantasy adventures as Kate Griffin, but the revelation she was also Claire North, author of last year's unique The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, was a major surprise. Her follow-up, Touch, is as intriguing and breathless as it is brilliantly original, constantly defying expectations and a step (or two) ahead of the reader. Featuring a troubled hero who can move from body to body just by grazing someone's fingertip and who becomes the subject of a sinister assassination attempt, the tentacular plot spans centuries and the whole wide world in an attempt for the protagonist to find out why he (or she) is being hunted and opens the lid on a boiling pot of conspiracy theories. Agile, unpredictable, this one will keep you awake at night in the search for answers. ~ Maxim Jakubowski

Sarah Broadhurst's view...

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August was a stunning debut and this is even better.  It is amazing.  A thriller with a dimension that others simply do not have.  The entity known as Kepler can pass from one body to another through the simple touching of skin.  From victim to murderer to cop to receptionist to driver to … anyone.  A chase becomes something so much more than running and hiding when you can hide as anyone.  It also adds a new level of excitement.  Hard to describe why it is so good, you just have to read it.  I’m serious, it is one of the weirdest and most wonderful thrillers I have ever read and I’m sure you will think so too.
