Then there's his sidekick, Stephanie. She's... well, she's a twelve-year-old girl. With a pair like this on the case, evil had better watch out... "So you won't keep anything from me again?" He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die." "Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said. "I know." "And technically, you've already died." "I know that too." "Just so we're clear." Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction.

Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything Skulduggery hates, it's torture...

Lucy wants to time them as they run through a maze, but they want to do an experiment, not be an experiment.

Detective Cara Kennedy thought she'd lost her husband and son in an accident, but harrowing evidence has emerged that points to murder--and she will stop at nothing to find the truth in this riveting mystery from the author of City Under One Roof.

On a frigid February day, Anchorage Detective Cara Kennedy stands by the graves of her husband and son, watching as their caskets are raised from the earth. It feels sacrilegious, but she has no choice. Aaron and Dylan disappeared on a hike a year ago, their bones eventually found and buried. But shocking clues have emerged that foul play was involved, potentially connecting them to a string of other deaths and disappearances.

Somehow tied to the mystery is Mia Upash, who grew up in an isolated village called Unity, a community of women and children in hiding from abusive men. Mia never imagined the trouble she would find herself in when she left home to live in Man's World. Although she remains haunted by the tragedy of what happened to the man and the boy in the woods, she has her own reasons for keeping quiet.

Aided by police officer Joe Barkowski and other residents of Point Mettier, Cara's investigation will lead them on a dangerous path that puts their lives and the lives of everyone around them in mortal jeopardy.

In Julie 2009 het Manser ‘n volgende wêreldrekord gestel toe hy die eerste persoon was wat die wêreld se vierde grootste eiland, Madagaskar, per kajak omseil het - ook alleen en sonder hulp. Hierdie kolossale reis van 5000 km, wat hom elf maande geneem het, was volgens hom aansienlik meer veeleisend, beide fisies en geestelik. Hy moes uiterste eensaamheid oorwin terwyl hy verraderlike toestande verduur het, soos donderende golwe, siklone en ‘n skroeiende son wat, gekombineer met soutwater, hom amper lewendig gepekel het. Tydens sy omseiling het hy baie onvergeetlike noue ontmoetings met Madagaskar se seelewe gehad – boggelrugwalvisse wat meters van sy kajak af deur die oppervlak gebreek het, reuse-leerskilpaaie wat langs hom geswem het, en sy boot wat deur ‘n haai gestamp is. Riaan het in ‘n tydperk van uiterste politieke onrus in Madagaskar rondgereis en hy het 5 keer in die tronk beland, die laaste keer drie nagte op vermoede dat hy huursoldaataktiwiteite uitgevoer het. In April 2010 is Manser se pogings beloon met sy tweede toekenning, “Out There Adventurer of the Year 2009�. “Around Madagascar on my Kayak�, die boek waarin hy van sy wonderlike prestasie vertel, het ook lof ontvang.
