If you go into the woods, you're in for a dark surprise. Thirty
years ago, three girls followed a stranger into the woods. Only two
returned. The surviving pair have never been able to remember what
happened or what the fate of the third girl was. Local rumours talk
of hippies and drugs and mystic rituals, but no one has learned the
truth. This story is just what Rowan Blake needs. He's in debt, his
journalistic career is in tatters - as well as his damaged body -
and he's retreated to the Lake District to write. Yet even Rowan
isn't prepared for the evil he is about to unearth, for the secrets
that have been buried in that wood for far too long... Praise for

The past comes back to haunt MI6 secret agent Cordelia Hemlock in
this spy thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author David Mark
"Top-level espionage fiction" - Booklist Starred Review Cordelia
Hemlock is teetering on the verge of joining MI6 when she meets the
enigmatic Walt, a high-ranking member of the Secret Intelligence
Service, who tells her: They won't want you to do well. They won't
ever trust you. They don't trust me and I'm one of them. She takes
this as a challenge rather than a warning. She wants to protect the
nation. Serve Queen and country. Who would turn down such a
glorious opportunity? Fourteen years later, Cordelia is desk-bound
after finishing an undercover operation and going quietly mad with
boredom. So when the call comes through on the top-secret Pandora
line - so-called after the locked-box the telephone is kept in -
she answers it. It's Walt. No longer officially MI6, he still
inhabits the murky world of intelligence, where information always
comes with a price. He tells her he has a secret to share with her
- and only her. And once she knows it, nothing will ever be the
same again . . . A follow-up to the critically acclaimed
psychological thriller The Mausoleum, this is a twisty,
page-turning tale of friendship and divided loyalties set against
the dark, forbidding landscape of the rural Borderlands.
How much would you pay to survive? Mum-of-three Ronni Ashcroft had
just pieced her life back together after her husband left. On a
remote spur of the Scottish Highlands, she kept her successful
guest house going and even met a new man, Bishop. But it turned out
that Bishop had secrets. He had shady connections and shadier plans
to use the coastal town as a European gateway for drugs, guns - and
something far worse. Now he's disappeared, and Ronnie wants
answers. Is he in trouble or simply ignoring her? Was she just his
play-thing from the start? And, most importantly, is he dragging
them both into something that neither of them will survive? Praise

Going Dirty is a history of negative campaigning in American
politics and an examination of how candidates and political
consultants have employed this often-controversial technique. The
book includes case studies on notable races throughout the
television era in which new negative campaign strategies were
introduced, or existing tactics were refined and amplified upon.
Strategies have included labeling opponents from non-traditional
political backgrounds as dumb or lightweight, an approach that got
upended when a veteran actor and rookie candidate named Ronald
Reagan won the California governorship in 1966, setting him on a
path to the White House. The negative tone of campaigns has also
been ratcheted up dramatically since the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001: Campaign commercials now routinely run pictures
of international villains and suggest, sometimes overtly, at other
times more subtly, that political opponents are less than resolute
in prosecuting the war on terror. The book also outlines a series
of races in which negative campaigning has backfired, because the
charges were not credible or the candidate on the attack did not
understand the political sentiments of the local electorate they
were trying to persuade. The effect of newer technologies on
negative campaigning is also examined, including blogs and Web
video, in addition to tried and true methods like direct mail.

lurid criminal world of violence and violation, reprisal and
merciless death. Torn between the man he wants to be and the man he
fears becoming, Adam's investigations will lead him ever deeper

massacres several people in central London, Claudine witnesses the
whole thing. To her horror, one of the victims is her brother,
Jethro. Riven by grief, Claudine retreats to the house in the Fens
where she and Jethro grew up. When the police contact her, she is
left reeling when they tell her Jethro orchestrated the attack. Why
would a gentle, if troubled, middle-aged man cause such bloodshed -
and why would he include himself in the list of victims? Claudine
