From the Number One bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes. Delve
into a gaslit London, where Jack the Ripper is making headlines,
but another, much more dangerous, madman is on the loose. When a
rotting torso is discovered in the vault of New Scotland Yard, it
doesn't take Dr Thomas Bond, Police Surgeon, long to realise that
there is a second killer at work in the city where, only a few days
before, Jack the Ripper brutally murdered two women in one night.
This is the hand of a colder killer, one who lacks Jack's emotion.
As more headless and limbless torsos find their way into the Thames
Dr Bond becomes obsessed with finding the killer. As his
investigations lead him into an unholy alliance, he starts to
wonder Is it a man who has brought mayhem to the streets of London,
or a monster? 'A compulsively readable story that starts as a
conventional murder mystery and morphs, by degrees, into a
horrifying supernatural thriller' Guardian.
The prophecy has come to pass. The London Stone has been stolen and
the Dark King rules the Nowhere. Only Mona and the new Seer dare to
stand against him, leading an underground rebellion in the frozen
wasteland . . . but what chance do they have, against both the Army
of the Mad and Arnold Mather's soldiers? There is still hope: if
they can recruit a banished race to their cause, maybe Fin and his
friends can force a final battle against the Dark King. But that
aid will be hard-won, through an almost impossible quest, and even
then there are no guarantees. It will come down to three friends,
standing together against all odds. And fulfilling their destinies,
whatever the cost . . .
'Sixteen's an interesting age: not quite a fully grown man, but not
a kid either. Anything is possible when you're sixteen.' Finmere
Tingewick Smith was abandoned on the steps of the Old Bailey. Under
the guardianship of the austere Judge Harlequin Brown and the
elderly gentlemen of Orrery House, Fin has grown up under a very
strange set of rules. He spends alternate years at two very
different schools and now he's tired of the constant lies to even
his best friends, to hide the insanity of his double life. Neither
would believe the truth! But on his sixteenth birthday, everything
changes. The Judge is killed, stabbed in the chest with a
double-edged sword that's disturbingly familiar, and from that
moment on, Fin is catapulted into an extraordinary adventure.
Through the Doorway in Fin's London, a hole in the boundaries of
Existence, lies another London -- and now both are in grave danger.
For the Knights of Nowhere have kidnapped the Storyholder, the
keeper of the Five Eternal Stories which weave the worlds together.
Because of the Knights' actions, a black storm is coming, bringing
madness with it. Fin may be just 16, but he has a long, dark
journey ahead of him if he is to rescue the Storyholder and save
Existence!
LIFE CAME OUT OF AFRICA... But now it's death's turn... It spreads
like a plague but it's not a disease. Medical science is helpless
against the deadly autoimmune reaction caused by the bite of the
swarming African flies. Billions are dead, more are dying. Across
the world, governments are falling, civilization is crumbling, and
everywhere those still alive fear the death carried in the skies.
Some say the flies are a freak mutation, others say they're man
made, but as hope of beating them fades, most turn to the only
comfort left and see the plague as God's will. He sent a deadly
deluge the last time He was upset with mankind. This time He has
darkened the sky with deadly flies. And perhaps that is true, for
so many of the afflicted speak with their dying breaths of seeing
God coming for them. But not everyone dies. A very few seem immune.
They call themselves mungus and preach acceptance of the plague,
encouraging people to allow themselves to be bitten by the flies of
the Lord so that they may join Him in the afterlife. Nigel, an
investigative reporter, searches the apocalyptic landscape of
plague-ravaged England in search of Bandora, a kidnapped African
boy. On a quest for personal redemption as well as the truth, his
search takes him away from the troubles he can no longer face at
home, and into the world of the head mungu, a man who speaks truth
in riddles and has no fear of the African flies. A Necessary End is
about apocalypse, about love, about the fragile bonds that hold
marriages and civilizations together. But mostly it's about truth -
how we find it, how we embrace or reject it, and how we must face
the truths within ourselves.
From the bestselling author of BEHIND HER EYES. 'Few writers blend
mystery and the supernatural as well as Sarah Pinborough, but there
are none who do it better. Quite, quite brilliant' John Connolly Dr
Thomas Bond is back, but this time the trial of murders leads
straight to his front door. Dr Thomas Bond, Police Surgeon, is
still recovering from the events of the previous year when Jack the
Ripper haunted the streets of London - and a more malign enemy hid
in his shadow. Bond and the others who worked on the gruesome case
are still stalked by its legacies, both psychological and tangible.
But now the bodies of children are being pulled from the
Thames...and Bond is about to become inextricably linked with an
uncanny, undying enemy.
DI Cass Jones is still dealing with the fallout of uncovering a
major conspiracy within his own police station when a terrorist
attack rocks London and he finds himself called on to help with the
investigation. At the same time he has his own investigation to
worry about: young people are dying, apparently committing suicide
- and they're all linked by the phrase Chaos in the Darkness,
scrawled or sent as their last message to the world. Then he's
given a note from his dead brother Christian, written before his
murder: the three words - 'They took Luke' - opens up a whole new
can of worms, because Cass knows immediately who They are: Mr
Bright and the shadowy Network. His dead brother has set him a task
from beyond the grave - to find the baby, his nephew, stolen at
birth. And as Cass tries to divide his time between all three
investigations, it's not long before he discovers links, where
there should not be. The mysterious Mr Bright is once again pulling
his strings, and there's nothing DI Cass Jones hates more ...
