'A rollercoaster ride of a thriller . . . will keep you hanging on
by your fingertips until the tense final moments' PETER ROBINSON
THE DARKNESS FROM HIS PAST WILL FINALLY COME TO LIGHT The death of
DS Tyler's father irrevocably changed his life. As a child, he
believed Richard had killed himself but, as the years have passed,
Tyler has grown convinced he was murdered. When a cold case lands
on Tyler's desk, there's nothing immediately notable about it,
apart from the link it has to his father. Richard was investigating
the same case shortly before he died. Finally, Tyler has a tangible
link to the past, one that could give him the answers he has been
looking for. And while there are dangerous people who will do
anything to keep him quiet, he knows he has to keep digging.
Because you'd risk anything for your family - even your life. From
the bestselling author of FIREWATCHING and NIGHTHAWKING. Praise for
COLD RECKONING 'Compelling and totally immersive. It's a brilliant
read for anyone with a love of tense intelligent thrillers, with
pitch-perfect dialogue' KATE RHODES, author of DEVIL'S TABLE 'I was
hooked on DS Adam Tyler from the first page . . . Spot on' SAM

BURIED FOREVER Sheffield's Botanical Gardens is an oasis of peace -
until one morning when the body of a young woman is found there,
buried in a quiet corner. Police determine that she's been there
for months and would have gone undiscovered for years - except
someone returned in the dead of night to dig her up. DS Adam Tyler
and his team have many questions to answer - who is the victim? Who
killed her and hid her body? And who dug her up? Tyler's
investigation draws him into the secretive world of nighthawkers:
treasure-hunters who operate under cover of darkness, seeking the
lost and valuable . . . and willing to kill to keep what they find.
The new must-read thriller from the bestselling author of
FIREWATCHING Praise for RUSS THOMAS 'I've got a new man in my life.
His name is Adam Tyler. Yorkshireman. Enjoys cold drinks and colder
cases. Hangs out in exceptional debut novels and exceptionaller
sequels. Firewatching and Nighthawking are comparable with the best
of Michael Connelly's Bosch books and James Lee Burke's Robicheaux
novels, and - naturally - Ian Rankin; but there's an elegiac
quality here that reminds me of Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie
titles and the Dublin Murder Squad novels by Tana French' AJ FINN

terrifying underworld, and the plot is wonderfully fresh and
original' KATE RHODES 'Superb. Every part of Nighthawking is so
well woven together . . . the end dragged me around and spat me out
a broken man. Highly recommended' JAMES DELARGY 'In the clever and

_____________________________ One wrong move will ignite the city .
. . A body is found bricked into a wall of the Old Vicarage. From
the state of the hands, it's clear the dead man was buried alive.
When the man is connected to an old missing person's case,
Detective Sergeant Adam Tyler is called. After an 'incident', Tyler
needs this case to go well in order to prove himself and get his
career back on track. But he soon discovers that he has a
connection to the case that hopelessly compromises him. He makes
the snap decision not to tell his superiors, certain that he is the
only one that can solve the crime. Now Tyler must move carefully to
find out the truth, without destroying the case or himself.
Meanwhile, someone in the city knows exactly what happened to the
body. Someone who is watching Tyler closely. Someone with an
unhealthy obsession with fire . . . A taut investigative thriller
bursting with character and tension, introducing an enigmatic,
fresh lead detective unlike any you have met before. Perfect for
fans of Adrian McKinty, Tana French, Steve Cavanagh and Sharon

The aim of this book on psychotherapies with children and families
is to present a comprehensive overview of the current array of
intervention approaches in the child mental health field. There is
a focus on the integration of theory, research, and practice
throughout the book. The book proceeds from the more global pre
sentations of basic theoretical approaches to applications of these
approaches with specific problems and populations. It then presents
more integrated intervention approaches and overviews of the
research literature. One of the unique features of this book is its
focus on future directions for each approach, both in clinical prac
tice and in research. A second unique feature is its structured
format across di verse approaches with a focus on empirical
validation of approaches. Another innovation is the presentation of
interventions that integrate major components of different
theoretical approaches. Thus, the book reflects the current trends
in the field of interventions with specific problems and
populations, empirical valida tion of the approach, and the
integration of treatment approaches. There are five major sections
in this book. Part I consists of four chapters that address a
variety of issues related to child psychotherapy. Chapter 1 by the
editors examines the historical roots of child psychotherapy and
explores current trends in the treatment of diverse child
disorders. It emphasizes the movement to "treat ments that work"
and sets the stage for the chapters that follow."
