Step into a world where prisoners battle as modern-day gladiators, their fights broadcast live to millions, with freedom as the ultimate reward. Welcome to the killing ground, where the struggle for liberty and love intertwine.

Hailed as 'America's new Hunger Games' by the Sunday Times, this gripping tale follows fan-favourites Loretta Thurwar and Hamara 'Hurricane Staxxx' Stacker, teammates and lovers on the circuit. As Thurwar approaches her final matches, the weight of impending freedom bears down upon her as heavily as her deadly hammer. But with protestors clashing against frenzied crowds and corporate overlords manipulating the odds, will the cost of liberty prove too steep?

This electrifying narrative has garnered high praise and accolades, including spots on the Arthur C. Clarke Award and TikTok Book Awards shortlists. Critics have lauded it as 'brutal, thrilling, devastating and beautiful' (The Times), 'compelling to the final, fatal blow' (Sunday Telegraph), and 'defiant, awe-inspiring' (Jessamine Chan). Even the legendary Stephen King declares, 'So good. This one is from the heart.'

From the mind of Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, hailed as 'the new maestro of dystopian lit' by Wired, comes Chain-Gang All-Stars - a 'pure fire page turner' (Max Porter) that will captivate readers until the very last word.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
