The Thorn of Truth
£9.99
It was the worst bind, and I felt panic rising up inside me, threatening to steal my breath.

Meet the author: S.L. Russell
Sue Russell spent the longest span of her working life teaching children with learning difficulties, following a PGCE at Cambridge and two years teaching English at the National Institute of Sciences in Indonesia. The Healing Knife is Sue’s seventh novel.
