Dorset delights by its differences. It is a county of villages & small towns languidly spread over countryside that never remains the same for more than fifteen or twenty miles in any direction. There are no big towns
- Bournemouth was only wrenched out of Hampshire a few years ago to help with the rates & has no Dorset characteristics. The county has no cathedral. It has no university. It has never fielded a first-class side at county Cricket. It hardly has any main through road.... Yet the last adjective that could be applied for Dorset is dim. It has always counted at every stage of our history & in our pre-history it was without rival. From the first chapter Dorset is a county brimming with history
- Iron Age forts, saxon churches, remnants of the Civil War. In this affectionate & beautifully written volume. Richard Ollard takes readers around the county he most loves, giving them sound advice on where to go & what to do.

When Ed Strachan's parents were killed in a horrific car crash eighteen years ago, they left their son a miserly inheritance: the memory of a mangled nursery rhyme & a cufflink inscribed with a single set of coordinates.

But eighteen years later when a beautiful girl tries to poison Ed & steal the cufflink he guesses it may have greater significance than he had imagined. Christine Molyneux is just the first of many who will stop at nothing to get hold of it.

Ed is soon prime suspect in a complicated homicide & immersed in a mystery that goes back way before his parent's death. It is a mystery that lies hidden off a coral island in the South China Sea; that has already cost thousands of lives & that will cost many more before it sees the light of day again.
Fans of Clive Cussler will love Double Cross: a breathtaking mixture of mystery, action & undersea adventure.
