A killer is on the loose, blurring the line between fact & fiction. His prey ? the writers of crime novels who have turned psychological profilers into the heroes of the nineties. But this killer is like no other. His bloodlust shatters all the conventional wisdom surrounding the motives & mechanics of how serial killers operate. & for one woman, the desperate hunt to uncover his identity becomes a matter of life & death. Professor Fiona Cameron is an academic psychologist who uses the computer technology to help police forces track serial offenders. She used to help the Met, but vowed never to work for them again when they went against her advice & badly screwed up an investigation as a consequence. Still smarting from the experience, she's working a case in Toledo when her lover, thriller writer Kit Martin, tells her a fellow crime novelist has been murdered. It's not her case, but Fiona can't help taking an interest. Which is just as well, because before too long the killer strikes again. & again. & Fiona is caught up in a race against time, not only to save a life, but to bring herself redemption, both personal & professional. Rich in atmosphere, ' Killing the Shadows' uses the backdrops of city & country to create an air of threatening menace, culminating in a tense confrontation between hunter & hunted, a confrontation that can only have one outcome. ...

Our culture's obsession with serial killers as its own dark shadow sometimes obscures the fact that people kill for other reasons than sex. In Killing the Shadows Val Mc Dermid's new detective, academic psychologist Fiona Cameron, has become something of a maverick because of her insistence on using other sorts of profiling as well as the standard psycho-sexual ones; she has refused to work for the Metropolitan police any more because of a murder they failed to solve because they took another psychologist's advice. Yet the woman murdered on Hampstead Heath preys on her conscience, along with her own murdered sister, as she works for the Spanish police on a killer who decorates the sights of Toledo with dead tourists. & then someone starts killing crime writers & Fiona's lover Kit is on the killer's list. Val Mc Dermid's ingenuity & solid sense of how crime & investigation works have made her one of the dominant figures in contemporary British crime writing. Killing the Shadows is one of her best books yet, both for its powerful critique of modern policing & for the serious questions it asks about our fascination with the deadliest of criminals. --Roz Kaveney.

More people than ever are using alternative medicine. But, as expert Dr Paul Offit explains, these untested therapies are ineffective, expensive & even deadly. Now that homeopathic remedies are offered on the NHS, it's clear that various therapies once considered alternative or complementary, have become mainstream
- prescribed to burn fat, shrink prostates, alleviate colds, reduce stress, eliminate pain & prevent cancer. At the same time, uptake of effective vaccines such as MMR has fallen
- a disturbing trend which, in the case of the MMR, has lead to a sharp rise in the number of measles cases. In ' Killing Us Softly' Paul Offit reveals, alternative medicine
- an unregulated industry under no obligation to prove its claims or admit its risks
- can actually be very harmful. In ' Killing Us Softly' he exposes how: * Homeopathic asthma preparations & bogus cancer cures have replaced life-saving medicines. * Acupuncture needles have pierced hearts, lungs, & livers & transmitted viruses, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C & HIV. * Chiropractic manipulations have torn arteries. * Megavitamins increase the risk of cancer & heart disease-a fact well known to scientists but virtually unknown to the public. Using real-life case histories to back his argument, Dr Offit shows us why any medical treatment
- alternative or conventional
- must be properly evaluated. ' There's no such thing as alternative medicine. There's only medicine that works & medicine that doesn't.'

Product Description

As a New Year begins in Bath, Ben Brace proposes to his long-term girlfriend, Caroline. The problem is that she's the daughter of notorious crime baron, Joe Irving, who is coming to the end of a prison sentence.

And Ben's father George is Bath's Deputy Chief Constable. But mothers & sons are a formidable force: a wedding in the Abbey & reception in the Roman Baths are set in place before the career-obsessed DCC can step in.

Peter Diamond, Bath's head of CID, is appalled to be put in charge of security on the day. Ordered to be discreet, he packs a gun & a guest list in his best suit & must somehow cope with potential killers, gang rivals, warring parents, bossy photographers & straying bridesmaids.

The laid-back Joe Irving seems oblivious to the danger he is in from rival gang-leaders, while Brace can't wait for the day to end.

Will the photo-session be a literal shoot? Will Joe Irving's speech as father of the bride be his last words? Can Diamond pull off a miracle, avert a tragedy & send the happy couple on their honeymoon?
