A Push too Far

by Fiona Cane

A seaside town. A teenage rebel. A web of lies.

A heart-stopping mystery about a feisty journalist’s determination to keep her family safe against all the odds.


When Megan Moreau makes the life-altering decision to resign her job as a foreign correspondent and uproot her teenage twins from their London comprehensive to St Peter’s in Easthaven, her life is turned on its head. The clique of child-centric mothers who dominate the school gate resent her fresh approach, and the havoc wreaked by her rebellious daughter, Daisy.

But beneath the respectable veneer evil is a work. And as the crimes mount up the community is torn apart. The safety of her own children threatened, Megan is faced with the toughest assignment of her life so far.

About the author

I was born and educated in Sussex. After graduating from Exeter University with a degree in Philosophy, I worked in London in film, tv and entertainment PR, before moving back to Sussex with my husband and young family. When I wasn’t coaching tennis or looking after my two children, I’d be scratching away at my latest novel.

I’m unusual in that I write across several genres – mystery, cosy mystery, psychological thriller, literary thriller and coming of age – but the one thing my books have in common is that they will keep you turning the page.

Books to date: Angel Town, A Song Unsung, The Other Side of the Mountain, A Push too Far (The Gate), When the Dove Cried, and 'Killing Fame.
