As a boy, Richard Kerridge loved to encounter wild creatures & catch them for his back-garden zoo. In a country without many large animals, newts caught his attention first of all, as the nearest he could get to the African wildlife he watched on television. There were Smooth Newts, mottled like the fighter planes in the comics he read, & the longed-for Great Crested Newt, with its huge golden eye. The gardens of Richard & his reptile-crazed friends filled up with old bath tubs containing lizards, toads, Marsh Frogs, newts, Grass Snakes &, once, an Adder. Besides capturing them, he wanted to understand them. What might it be like to be cold blooded, to sleep through the winter, to shed your skin & taste wafting chemicals on your tongue? Richard has continued to ask these questions during a lifetime of fascinated study. Part natural-history guide to these animals, part passionate nature writing, & part personal story, Cold Blood is an original & perceptive memoir about our relationship with nature. Through close observation, it shows how even the suburbs can seem wild when we get close to these thrilling, weird & uncanny animals. ...

As the weeks pass & no leads are found, the story quickly disintegrates but Lia can`t easily forget. So when she meets Mari in a late night bar one night she feels fate might have brought them together. Like her, Mari is a Finnish woman in London finding her way, somewhat of an outsider, very independent. But there is much more to Mari than meets the eye: she is a psychologist who possesses an unnatural way of being able to `read` people, see into their inner most thoughts & pre-empt their actions. She uses her `gift` to try to help people & has formed a close unit she calls the Studio, a kind of team of investigators, who are not beyond breaking the law to put the worlds to rights. Mari & Lia strike up a firm friendship & when Lia shares her plaguing thoughts about the murder, Mari thinks she & the members of the Studio can help where the police have failed. But Mari & Lia are about to step foot into extremely dangerous territory, especially as Mari has a will to control others, take vengeance on those she deems deserve it & use the Studio to unscrupulous ends.
