She thought she was just going to reminisce, enjoy the Northern Lights, and celebrate an author, but a murderer had other ideas.

On her first trip to Iceland, Poe Baxter is excited about the scenery, the culture and the rare book she’s hoping to find.  But it soon becomes clear that Poe and her best friend Beattie are in for far more than a quiet, book-buying trip to the country.  Will they survive their new bookish escapade?

When a case of nostalgia hits, will it also mean the end of Poe’s memories?

Montfield's Madness

Phillip Strang

Jacob Montfield, regarded by the majority as a homeless eccentric, a nuisance by a few, had pushed a supermarket trolley around the city for years. 
 
 
 
However, one person regards him as a liability. 
 
 
 
Eccentric was correct, a nuisance, for sure, mad, plenty thought that, but few knew the truth, that Montfield is a brilliant man, once a research scientist. And even less knew that detailed within a notebook hidden deep in the trolley, there is a new approach to the guidance of weapons and satellites—a radical improvement on the previous and it's worth a lot to some, power to others, accolades to another. 
 
 
 
And for that, one cold night, he died at the hand of another. 
 
 
 
Inspector Tremayne and Sergeant Clare Yarwood are on the case, but so are others, and soon they're warned off. Only Tremayne doesn't listen, not when he's got his teeth into the investigation, and his sergeant, equally resolute, won't either. It's not only their careers on the line, but their lives.
