THE DEAD BOY WOULD NOT GO AWAY. Jean is on her way to Hawaii for a week of fun in the sun. But the vacation gets off to a gruesome start. The boy sitting beside her on the plane suddenly chokes and dies. Jean tries to push the incident out of her mind when she arrives on the island, but that's impossible. Part of the reason is because Mike keeps coming back to her in her dreams. Horrible dreams filled with cold blood. Two of Jean's friends are waiting for her in Hawaii -- Mandy and Michele. They have already made friends with two young men who teach scuba diving at the hotel -- Dave and Johnny. Jean and Johnny quickly become friends. But there are problems in paradise. Dave and Johnny have recently lost a partner in the ocean. No one knows how he died. No one can find his body. But then Jean finds Mike's body. It isn't where it's supposed to be, and it seems as if it's still got some life in it.
Sherlock Bones, the world's greatest dog detective, and his trusty
sidekick Dr Jane Catson are back for another crime-solving
adventure. This time, the pair are visiting the tombs of the
ancient feline kings in Egypt when they discover that a precious
mask has been stolen. They have to interview tourists from around
the world - including a cowardly lion, a spoiled hippo and two
secretive pandas - to discover who is guilty. But the mystery is
not as straightforward as it first seems. It will take the pair on
a thrilling adventure deep inside the Egyptian tombs and require
all of Bones and Catson's skills to solve the crime. The second
book in Buster's brand-new Sherlock Bones fiction series features
puzzles - including search games, logical conundrums and shadow
matches - that are woven into the action, so the reader feels
immersed in the exciting detective plot. Also available in the
