Soldier, spy, lover ? a
man as dangerous as the
criminals he hunts. The

insanity is only matched
by his dark intelligence.

has a point to prove.

The dazzling landscape
central to this
multifaceted tale of
adventure and aspiration
is the white Antarctic
vastness known as the
Ice. The story told is of
an expedition to the
South Pole, led by a
young, ardent American
woman, Morgan Lamont -
an expedition inspired
and haunted by the tragic
journey, eighty years
before, of the British
explorer Robert Falcon
Scott. For Morgan,
Scott's life, his dream,
his death and the very
concept of Antarctic
navigation are obsessive
emblems of the search for
integrity in a morally
precarious age. Freed by
her mother's quixotic and
frightening sacrifice and
the generosity of a
hitherto estranged
grandfather, she sets
out to fulfill her own
dream - to "vindicate"

historic polar

extravagant and austere,
pulsing with colour and

Antarctic ice, this is a

been doing? Something she
couldn't - or wouldn't -
tell her own father
about? To find his

Only one thing has him

Eldritch Swan is a dead
man. Or at least that is
what his nephew Stephen
has always been told.
Until one day Eldritch
walks back into his life
after 36 years in an
Irish prison. He won't
reveal any of the details
of his incarceration,
insisting only that he is
innocent of any crime.
His return should be of
interest to no-one. But
the visit of a solicitor
with a mysterious request
will take Eldritch and
his sceptical nephew from
sleepy seaside Paignton
to London, where an
exhibition of Picasso
paintings from the
prestigious Brownlow
collection proves to be
the starting point on a
journey that will
transport them back to
the Second World War and
the mystery behind
Eldritch's imprisonment.
In 1940, he was personal
assistant to a wealthy
diamond dealer in
Antwerp, whose
collection of modern art
was the envy of many. The
subsequent disappearance
of those paintings began
a trail of murder and
intrigue which was to
have a catastrophic
effect on Eldritch's
life. But untangling the
web of murky secrets,
family ties and old
betrayals that conceals
the truth will prove to
be a dangerous pursuit
for Eldritch and Stephen.
Before long, a
mysterious enemy is doing
everything possible to
stop the truth emerging -
at whatever cost.

Cynthia Owen grew up in
Ireland, went to the
local convent school,
said her prayers and took
her first communion with
all the other girls in
her class. But behind the
fa?ade of respectability
lurked a hideous reality.
Cynthia was just eight
years old when she was
sexually abused by her
father amongst others.
Shortly before her
eleventh birthday she was
made pregnant and,
minutes after giving
birth to the baby,
Cynthia watched in horror
as her own mother
murdered the tiny infant,
named Noleen, by
repeatedly stabbing her
with a knitting needle.
Cynthia's mother then
wrapped the baby girl in
a plastic bag, dumped
her in an alleyway and
made her daughter go back
to school and pretend
nothing had ever
happened. After enduring
many more years of rape
and violence, Cynthia
came forward and reported
her abuse and Noleen's
death. Finally, in 2007,
after a fifteen-year
legal fight to have her
baby girl formally
identified, the jury at
the 'Dun Laoghaire Baby'
inquest declared that the
baby found dead in an
alleyway thirty-four
years previously was
Noleen Murphy, the
daughter of Cynthia Owen.
Cynthia's is a horrific
story of brutality and
loss, but ultimately,
it is an account of love,
immense bravery and her
fight for justice in
Noleen's name.

A seven-year-old girl
puts a nail-gun to her
grandmother's neck and
fires. An isolated
incident, say the
experts. The experts are

children are killing
their families. Is
violence contagious?
As chilling
murders by children grip
the country,
anthropologist Hesketh
Lock has his own mystery
to solve: a bizarre
scandal in the Taiwan
timber industry.
Hesketh has never
been good at
relationships: Asperger's
Syndrome has seen to
that. But he does have a
talent for spotting
behavioural patterns,
and an outsider's
fascination with group
dynamics.
Nothing obvious connects
Hesketh's Southeast Asian
case with the atrocities
back home. Or with the
increasingly odd
behaviour of his beloved
step-son, Freddy.
But when Hesketh's
Taiwan contact dies
shockingly and more acts

he is forced to
acknowledge possibilities
that defy the rational
principles on which he
has staked his life, his
career and, most
devastatingly of all,
his role as a father.
Part

part dystopian nightmare,
