LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZEThe latest from award-winning crime writer Belinda Bauer, winner of the UK National Book Award, and longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Snap is a gripping novel about a teenage boy’s hunt for his mother’s killer. Eileen Bright puts her 11-year-old son Jack in charge when she left their broken-down car on the side of the road to find help.
