A fascinating, highly unusual literary novel of love, obsession & powerful women by the author of the highly acclaimed ' Wasted'. ' All the seasons here in the north move toward their own end, except winter, which moves toward its centre & sits there to see how long you can take it.' At the centre of winter, in Motley, Minnesota, Arnold Schiller gives in to the oppressive season that reigns outside & also to his own inner demons & commits suicide, leaving a devastated family in his wake. Claire Schiller, wife & mother, takes shelter from the emotional storm with her husband's parents, but must ultimately emerge from her grief & help her two young children to recover. Esau, her oldest, is haunted by the same darkness that plagued his father. At twelve years old, he has already been in & out of state psychiatric hospitals & now, with the help of his mother & sister, he must overcome the forces that drive him deep into himself. But as the youngest, perhaps, it is Kate who carries the heaviest burden. A precocious six year old who desperately wants to help her mother hold the family together, she will have to come to terms with the memory of her father who was at once loving & cruel. Narrated alternately by Claire, Katie & Esau, this powerful & passionate novel explores the ways in which both children & adults experience tragic events, discover solace & hope in each other, & survive. ' The Centre of Winter' finds humour in unlikely places & evokes the north
- its people & landscape
- with warmth, sensitivity & insight. The story of three people who, against all odds, find their way out of the centre of winter, Marya Hornbacher's debut novel will leave you breathless, tearful, & ultimately, inspired. ' You cannot live with the past cluttering up the house. You cannot waste your love. You must love what is left, what has the will to live.'

They began as a little blues band in London, Engl&, in 1967, named, rather bizarrely, after their tight rhythm section: Mick Fleetwood on drums & John Mc Vie on bass. Fleetwood Mac.

Fifty years later, as they prepare for their gigantic farewell world tour throughout 2018, they remain one of the biggest bands of all time a position they have held since 1977 when, with the help of Johns wife, Christine Mc Vie, & two virtually unknown American musicians called Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham, they released an LP titled Rumours that went on to become the world s best-selling album. That, in itself, is a remarkable story.

Now consider the highs & lows, the successes & failures, the personal turmoil, tragedy & heartbreak through which this band has journeyed over the last 50 years... & the story of Fleetwood Mac becomes one of pure drama.

The greatest ever rock n roll soap opera. In this independent, lavishly illustrated publication, music writer & journalist Pete Chrisp reveals the true story of how, over the last 50 years, despite all of those confrontations, pinnacles & all-time lows... the chain of Fleetwood Mac remains unbroken.

Boiled human bones have been found in Norwich's web of underground tunnels. When forensic archaeologist Dr Ruth Galloway discovers the bones aren't as old as originally thought, it's time for DCI Nelson to launch a murder inquiry. What was initially just a medieval curiosity has taken a much more sinister nature...

Meanwhile, DS Judy Johnson is investigating the disappearance of a local rough sleeper. The only trace of her is the rumour that she's gone 'underground'. This might be a figure of speech, but with the discovery of the bones & the stories both Ruth & the police have heard of a vast community of rough sleepers living in the old chalk-mining tunnels under Norwich, the clues point in only one direction. Local academic Martin Kellerman knows all about the tunnels & their history
- but can his assertions of cannibalism & ritual killing possibly be true?

As the weather gets hotter, tensions rise. A local woman goes missing & the police are under attack. Ruth & Nelson must unravel the dark secrets of The Underground & discover just what gruesome secrets lurk at its heart
- before it claims another victim.

Ideal for anyone who loves crime novels.
