Hestyn is a coastal town untouched by time. As more and more destinations fall victim to war and terrorism and are crossed off his beloved maps, travel writer Wilf Bromley finds himself exploring its dubious delights for his next book, Gems of the Coast. It's a far cry from his past expeditions with Aggie, his feisty co-writer. But Aggie has disappeared, and Wilf's visit to this bleak place is taking a very strange turn, as he's drawn into the bizarre world of landlady Gwen, local historian Warren and the mysterious B&B guest Martha Crick. Then there's the abandoned old manor house on the cliff, which harbours more secrets than any guidebook could contain. The more Wilf investigates this particular hidden gem, the more we discover about his own confused private life. Set in a dystopian Britain of the near future, Hidden Gems is the fifth novel by Nia Williams.

Millie is flying. She's spreading her wings and soaring, up and away from the filth of the city, away from the putrid yards and bloodstained alleyways, away from the crazy, crooked labyrinth of the rookeries, those last, teetering remnants of a medieval world, tucked in the shadows of the 19th-century city. Millie is six years old and dreams of skies and seas beyond her brief experience. But sooner or later she must come back down to earth. Back to the Manor, where Vincent will return any minute, to set his girls to work on the twilit streets. Back to this loft, where she's just released his songbird and lost him a precious sale. Millie can hear him, now, roaring and crashing up the stairs. Her flight is at an end, and her life is about to change its course forever. BIRDCAGE traces 25 years of Millie's story, against the backdrop of London's transformation from medieval city to modern metropolis. It's a story of angels and garrotters; of French courtesans and back-street brothels; of ghosts and cats, secrets and mysteries; of the thieves and working girls, fraudsters, tale-tellers and odd-bods who form the strange and compelling family of the Manor-a cut above the rest of the London slums.
