A seven-year-old girl puts a nail-gun to her grandmother's neck & fires. An isolated incident, say the experts. The experts are wrong. Across the world, 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, & 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 & more acts of sabotage & child violence sweep the globe, he is forced to acknowledge possibilities that defy the rational principles on which he has staked his life, his career &, most devastatingly of all, his role as a father.

Part psychological thriller, part dystopian nightmare, The Uninvited is a powerful & viscerally unsettling portrait of apocalypse in embryo.

Among his team-mates were goalscorer supreme Denis Law & England midfielder Bobby Charlton. Together they would combine to help United to win two league titles & a long-awaited European Cup as the Reds came to personify all that was most exciting about the Swinging Sixties. By 1968, all three men would have been honoured as European Footballer of the Year
- the only time three winners of that award have lined up in the same side. In David Meek's compelling portrait of the United Trinity, he not only reveals their different characters & what made them so successful on the pitch, he also speaks to many of their team-mates to find out what it was like playing in the same side & researches contemporary reports to assess how they were viewed at the time. Having reported on their entire careers together, Meek has a unique insight into what made Best, Law & Charlton stand out as the truly special players they were.
