George Viviani has it all, a publishing contract, a feisty mistress and a loving family waiting for him at home. It's a pity he'll be dead before the day is done. But it doesn't stop there. Soon it seems that anyone with a connection to George is experiencing strange and frightening phenomena. Gradually, a widening group of desperate people find themselves drawn together, as they are taken over by a creeping sense of unreality. Events begin to spiral out of control and only one man-Cheyne Tully, ghost hunter-has a chance of discovering the truth before it's too late.

LOOKING AT THINGS DIFFERENTLYTHE WONDER OF UNEXPECTED FRIENDSHIPIn this delightful take on an unlikely friendship, artist and writer, Seona Calder, invites us to embrace our differences while celebrating what we have in common.Written in and lavishly illustrated in a style that is easily accessible to young children or early readers, this book helps with hard-to-explain concepts, such as difference and diversity.Throughout, the beautiful sea greens and blues in the paintings contrast with the warmer caramel colours of the land, evoking a sense of two worlds meeting. The illustrative style is wonderfully nostalgic of classical children''s tales, and will draw a smile from even the most cynical amongst us.

Will A Killer Go Free?THE DISCOVERYThe discovery of the naked and mutilated body of a young man in a Scottish loch sends shockwaves through the local community.THE BROKEN MANWhen DCI Grant McVicar is tasked with finding the killer, it’s not the obvious choice. Tragedy has thrown him into turmoil, and he returns to work, a troubled man. And to make things worse, he finds his newly-appointed Detective Sergeant an enigma he can’t resolve — is she there as his assistant or his babysitter?THE ENEMYWhat starts out as a fairly straightforward investigation soon turns nasty, leading McVicar and his team into the dark world of a notorious Glasgow crime family. McVicar has encountered them before and his need for vengeance is at war with his need to bring them to justice. He’s determined to uncover the truth, but the force of his hatred starts to cloud his judgement, and those around him begin to question his fitness for duty. 

Science is everywhere, our medicines, our transport, what we eat and drink. Like it or not, we can't make real progress without it. There's just one dilemma ... What if there are profound problems with all aspects of scientific theory and methods?Could it be that the idea of universal laws underpinning reality is a falsehood and, as a result, we need more and more scientists, and more and more computing power, to produce greater and greater elaborations of our theories to make them fit inconvenient experimental data? We're being forced to break science down into smaller and smaller sub-specialities, each with ever more divergent theories applicable only to one speciality and not applicable to others. Rather than an underlying unity we are finding only disparity and greater complexity. What's worse, scientists are routinely having to resort to completely untestable concepts, such as many more spatial dimensions and infinite universes, to 'explain' our reality. Throughout the history of science, reputable figures in science and philosophy have been casting doubt on some of the central assumptions of science and its various disciplines.For the first time, we have a book that dares to summarise these profound concerns in a way that is accessible to the general reader, who lacks a scientific background. It also provides  a warning to Mankind of the risks we run by not acknowledging the, often, hollow foundations on which science is built.
