‘Wow! Smash All The Windows by Jane Davis is an unforgettable story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.’ Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers’ Favorite

Thirteen years after the St Botolph and Old Billingsgate disaster, the victims’ families have lost faith in the justice system. But not in each other.

‘Takes us right under the skin of a cast of highly memorable characters, so that by the end of the book they become people we care deeply about.’ ~ Clare Flynn, author of The Pearl of Penang

London, 22 August 2003. The day began like any other. It ended in tragedy. Fifty-eight people who set off for work in the morning didn’t make it home.

On that fateful day, the dead weren’t the only casualties. For thirteen cruel years, their search for truth has eaten up everything. Marriages, families, health, careers and finances. Entire futures that should have been.

The justice system has failed the victims’ families. Now an unlikely hero is about to enter their lives. Eric, a first-year law student has studied the chain of events that led to the accident, and thinks he has the answers they’ve searched long and hard for. But first he has a question: Can the victims’ families find the strength for one last fight?

Tapping into the issues of the day, Jane delivers an unforgettable story of sacrifice and resilience, humanity and hope. Written with urgency, authenticity and an overwhelming sense of empathy, Smash all the Windows is a richly rewarding read that will have you cheering the victims’ families all the way to the final page.
