Cupcakes are sweet … but vengeance is sweeter. Baz, Peggy, Carole, and Madge aren’t your regular grannies. Behind their smiles and pots of tea lies a dark secret. When they’re not knitting or exchanging juicy titbits of gossip, they’re keeping the streets safe – and they’re not afraid of using a little murder to make it happen. A predator is stalking south-east London and the four women decide to take matters into their own hands. With the community at risk and the police unwilling to help, the ladies set out to unravel a sinister mystery. But their notion of justice isn’t bound by the law. These women aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty – and their mission is to bring the whole criminal underground to its knees.

Myrninerest', a stunning new monograph on the visionary English outsider artist Madge Gill, is published in conjunction with an exhibition of her work at the William Morris Gallery in London. With selections from a seemingly endless body of work, it explores the natural creativity Gill possessed. She often attributed her inspiration for the thousands of intricate ink drawings and embroideries to her ethereal guide, after which this book is named. Gill was obsessed with spiritualism, and this unseen force gave her a new outlook and energy which shaped her work, guiding her hand and allowing her to find the strength and inspiration to take control over the many hardships in her life.
