  Keep her happy, or heads will roll … 
   
  DI Jamie Johansson is trying to find normality in Kurrajakk when she gets the chance to sit in on the Interpol interview linked to her last case. 
   
  A pattern of mutilation and beheading on the Finnish border has Jamie’s full attention, but Interpol seem more interested in the Russian connection. Begrudgingly, they let her follow up, and as usual, Jamie’s nose for trouble doesn’t steer her wrong. 
   
  The lake-side town of Leppasalmi is bathed in darkness for three months a year, and as Jamie and Thorsen arrive, the sun begins to set for the polar night. The local polis superintendent is working to keep her people safe from an ever-present threat and knows the long night always spells trouble. Wary of strangers and afraid to step foot outside, the entire town hunkers down for dusk. The denizens have accepted the abductions and killings as a part of life, but Jamie and Thorsen refuse to kneel. 
   
  The Ice Queen’s word may be law, but Jamie has never been good at taking orders …

  William Evans Burton was born in London on the 24th September 1804.  
   
  Initially set for a career in the church he attended St. Paul's School in London. At 18, after the death of his father, he took charge of the family printing concern.  He established a monthly magazine, which although a failure, brought him several theatrical acquaintances which then lured him towards the stage. 
   
  For several years he acted in low comedies around the provinces before debuting, to good notices, in London.  In 1833 his own play ‘Ellen Wareham’, was, somewhat unusually put on at five different theatres on the same evening.  
   
  In 1834 his marriage of 10 years failed and he decided to relocate, by himself, to America.  He soon leased a theatre, which he renamed ‘Burton’s Theatre’, in New York.   
   
  Three years later he established, with Edgar Allan Poe as its editor, the Gentleman’s Magazine in Philadelphia and wrote one of the earliest detective stories for it; ‘The Secret Cell’. 
   
  He and Poe had a difficult relationship, added to which Burton was frequently away in acting roles in other cities.  By 1840 he had fired Poe and then sold the magazine to finance renovation work on his theatre, which some time later failed.  Burton spend much of his remaining years editing magazines and writing books. 
   
  William E Burton died on the 10th February 1860 in New York City.  
   
  He left his fortune, among which was a library of over 100,000 books, to charity.  His separated wife from decades earlier challenged the will and created legal history in eventually gaining ownership of the estate.

  The book everyone is talking about — you’ll never see the ending coming. Never question a mother’s intuition. My water isn’t supposed to break while there’s a storm raging, when my husband isn’t on the island, and as the power flickers out. Darkness covers the cabin as I cling to my belly. I never imagined it happening like this. Trained as a midwife, I know I can deliver my daughter. * * * I look at her, and I see her — I’ve always known her. She’s perfect. Sweat and tears streak down my face as I kiss her over and over again. Reaching for my bag of midwifery supplies, I wipe her nose and press her tiny body to my chest. I fall asleep with her in my arms. * * * When I wake, my husband is home, the lights are back on — but the baby he’s holding — it’s not mine. I’m not crazy. I gave birth to a girl, and that baby in his arms is a boy. He’s not my baby. You won’t want to put this down until you find the shocking truth about what happened. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, Colleen Hoover and Keri Beevis. Please note this is a revised edition of The Midwife’s Mistake. It contains themes of baby loss that some readers may find upsetting.

His life hangs in the balance—a balance that is swayed by the intervention of an Aboriginal bushman bent on his own murderous mission. The bushman leaves Chris with a mysterious and incongruous legacy, a Celtic cross made of stone. 
   
   
   
  Partly blinded and in deep grief at no longer being able to fly, Chris finds his way to the Hebridean islands off the west coast of Scotland, where he seeks to unravel the secrets of the Celtic stone. 
   
   
   
  A blind Hebridean woman, shunned by many in her local community, becomes Chris's reluctant ally, along with a seven-year-old boy who is as wild as the storm-tossed seas that surround the islands. 
   
   
   
  It becomes apparent that the violence of the island's history has carried on into the present. Chris needs to recover from his grief, discover his identity . . . and right an injustice in Scottish history that has shamed an island community.
