Synopsis
an intriguing cold-case mystery - Guardian
George Gates is a former travel writer. He used to specialise in writing about places where people disappeared, sometimes individuals, sometimes whole societies. Now, since the murder of his eight-year-old son, Gates writes for the town paper about flower festivals and local celebrities. Enter Arlo McBride, a retired missing persons detective. Knowing Gates' past, he mentions the case of Katherine Carr, a woman who vanished 20 years before, leaving nothing behind but a few poems and a strange story. It is this story that spurs Gates to inquire into its missing author’s brief life and dire fate, an exploration that leads him to discoveries about life and death, mystery and resolution.

Pandaemonium - Christopher Brookmyre
The senior pupils of St Peter's High School are on retreat to a secluded outdoor activity centre, coming to terms with the murder of a fellow pupil through the means you would expect: counselling, contemplation and even prayer...not to mention booze, drugs and as much partying as they can get away with. Not so far away, the commanders of a top-secret military experiment fear they may have literally unleashed the forces of hell. Two very different worlds are on a collision course...the bookies are offering evens.
