The Black Eden: 'Wonderfully evocative and atmospheric.' - WILLIAM BOYD, invites readers into a gripping narrative where ambition and desire intertwine with the thrilling discovery of 'black gold' in the North Sea.
This enthralling novel immerses you in the lives of five characters whose fates are intricately linked as they navigate the tumultuous waters of the oil industry. Joe and Ally chase dreams of wealth, Mark foresees political upheaval, while Aaron seeks scientific recognition, and Robbie aims for a brighter future. As these ambitions collide, deep-seated bonds dissolve, revealing the high stakes of their relentless pursuits.
Masterfully crafted by acclaimed author Kelly, The Black Eden pulsates with the intensity of a thriller, portraying an era defined by transformation. Its prose is as rich and dark as the crude oil itself, drawing readers into a world filled with both opportunity and peril along Scotland's rugged coastline.
With Kelly's keen eye for detail, readers become participants in a complex narrative that explores ambition, friendship, and the costs of progress. Dive into this evocative journey with The Black Eden and discover a tale that resonates long after the last page is turned.

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.’
