Black Wood by SJI Holliday
Published by Black & White Publishing on
Thursday 19th March 2015 in paperback original


Something happened to Claire and Jo in Black Wood: something that left Claire paralysed and Jo with deep mental scars. But with Claire suffering memory loss and no evidence to be found, nobody believes Jo’s story.

Twenty-three years later, a familiar face walks into the bookshop where Jo works, dredging up painful memories and rekindling her desire for vengeance. And at the same time, Sergeant Davie Gray is investigating a balaclava-clad man who is attacking women on a disused railway, shocking the sleepy village of Banktoun.

But what is the connection between Jo’s visitor and the masked man? To catch the assailant, and to give Jo her long-awaited justice, Gray must unravel a tangled web of past secrets, broken friendship and tainted love. But can he crack the case before Jo finds herself with blood on her hands?


Pre-publication reviews for the debut novel by SJI Holliday

A dark, chilling read that moves fast and builds to a brilliant climax. Superb.’
Steve Cavanagh, author of The Defence

‘In her atmospheric debut, Holliday effectively and spookily evokes small-town claustrophobia and backbiting. An edgy and authentic new voice in crime fiction.’
Anya Lipska, author of Where the Devil Can’t Go

‘A fast-paced and chilling psychological thriller from an exciting new talent. If you liked Broadchurch, you’ll love this.’
Mark Edwards and Louise Voss, authors of From The Cradle

‘Darkly atmospheric and utterly absorbing.’
Jane Isaac, author of The Truth Will Out

‘A plot which weaves and twists its way around a tight-knit community… [where] old sins return to haunt some damaged people and the atmosphere is thick with unspoken dread… You won’t read a more shocking, or satisfying, thriller this year.’
James Benmore, author of Dodger

‘A deeply unsettling story of bad deeds, complex loyalties and secrets better left buried, Black Wood is a thrilling debut which grips from the very first page and doesn’t let go.’
Eva Dolan, author of Long Way Home
