Edinburgh is basking in an unnaturally warm winter until the snow
starts falling. When a student disappears, along with his climate
research, and the national government close down all
communications, Professor Finlay Hamilton realises there is a link
between his own research into dark matter and the freak weather.
Suddenly he is in a desperate race to save his wife, Jess, and
their young family from a catastrophic event. His only help is a
man from Jess's past, a past he never knew existed. Under the
relentless snowfall, only the strong will survive - and Jess must
be strong enough to keep her family safe.
When a distillery owner's body is discovered on top of a remote
Scottish mountain, forensics confirm that he died of natural
causes. DI Corstophine's concerns are raised however, when the
dead's man eccentric sister receives a message, apparently from the
beyond the grave. The police are dismissive until it appears the
devil himself is intent on attacking other family members. Why is
his daughter kept locked and sedated in her room in the baronial
mansion? Who or what is stalking his son as he scatters his
father's ashes on lonely summits? And what insanity is behind the
horrific attacks in their small Highland town? DI Corstophine and
his team don't know what they're facing until it's too late.
Following on from the success of Whirligig, The Devil's Cut is a
story about what constitutes sanity and how delicate that state
really is; how such a perfect emotion as love can completely
destroy a man.
Finally, someone has written a comprehensive, easily readable
explanation of the tides on earth that is both simple enough for
students and solid enough for their professors. Step by step, by
analogy and illustration, Beyond the Moon describes how the
cyclical motion of the near solar system is impressed upon the
earth's oceans, and how the hydraulics over the continental shelf
and the geography of the coastline orchestrate this rhythm into the
bewildering variety of tide patterns seen around the globe. This
volume demystifies the complexity of the tides by systematically
examining its many constituents and demonstrates that: "Nature is,
at once, awesome in complexity and beautiful in simplicity."

An area excavation was undertaken in December 2004-May 2005 within
the western part of the interior and defences of Metchley Roman
fort, Birmingham (central England) in advance of proposals for a
new hospital development. This was the largest single excavation of
the fort interior undertaken at Metchley, comprising an area of
approximately 0.4ha, equivalent to approximately 9% of the total
internal area of the Phase 1 and Phase 3 fort. This volume, the
fourth in the reports, concentrates on the researches into the
western fort interior, defences, and post-Roman activity.
