The next instalment from debut author Jane Buckley's Stones Corner tetralogy has arrived!

Darkness captures an era in Derry/Londonderry in the early '70s, considered the darkest years of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

It reveals the catastrophic fallout from Volume 1Turmoil's doomed Derry City Hotel meeting and its impact on the lives of so many, from the rich, vibrant James Henderson to the love-struck factory girl, Caitlin McLaughlin.

The guerrilla war in Northern Ireland rages as it extends to mainland Britain and the Republic of Ireland. Charles Jones, the bigoted Belfast businessman and the revenge-seeking British Army undercover operative IOWA, continue to seek every opportunity to cause distress and misery for the Nationalist papists.

Darkness takes us from the private clubs of London's West End to the dank hellhole of Armagh Women's Gaol. Hope is deemed lost and forgotten until, ultimately, the power of love, truth, and justice steps in to create a new beginning.

This tale is ANOTHER brutal, hard-hitting, but scrupulously unbiased account of communities on both sides of the sectarian divide struggling to live and love against a background of chaos and carnage.

Stones Corner, Light, set-in war-torn Ulster and in London in the early 1980s, continues the sensational cliff-hanging series of thrillers, Turmoil and Darkness.

Caitlin McLaughlin, determined to live an everyday life safe in England, still grieves the loss of her sister and parents back home in Derry. Although she has met a man who offers her a gilded new lifestyle, she cannot dismiss thoughts of her lost love, James Henderson.

After inheriting his uncle's shirt factory, Rocola, James pledges to carry on the battle for the business's survival - even though this traps him in a loveless marriage to a manipulative heiress. Meanwhile, the toxic impact of the sectarian conflict continues to be felt. A merciless kidnap plot is hatched by the PIRA that will touch the lives of both Caitlin and James, bringing them together again at a pivotal moment.

With the women's movement working across the sectarian divide to bring about peace and a growing drift towards the ballot box over the Armalite, Light captures the change in the air in the province. It is a time of hope in the lives of its war-weary people. But no one has foreseen the shattering events in London that will soon threaten their dreams for a brighter future...

In the years following Caitlin's marriage to Chris Pecaro, her dreams of a happy family go unfulfilled as their relationship takes a dark turn. Once trusted to protect and cherish her, her husband's true colours are revealed. Living in constant fear, Caitlin never knows what he will do next.

Amidst the violent Troubles, James Henderson experiences yet another failed relationship and yearns for normalcy with his family. However, feeling isolated and lonely, James fights against a looming threat that could disrupt all their lives.

Paddy Gillispie walks the political path towards peace but soon becomes a target as an ominous enemy lurks too close for comfort, endangering his loved ones.

Finally, Charles Jones is exposed for who he truly is. As his web of deceit and greed unravels, an unexpected collaboration arises between two opposing groups, united in their pursuit of justice and retribution.
