Sinopse

It’s 1676 and ‘spirits’ are stalking the kingdom. When eight-year-old Penny is kidnapped outside Whitehall Palace and spirited away to the West Indies, how can Susannah and Raphael hope to save her?
 
Arriving in Jamaica, they reunite with Sam Carter – Penny’s natural father – and Noah and Hal Bartholomew. And so, the desperate search to find her begins: a race against time, treachery and powerful enemies.
 
After many fruitless months sailing the Caribbean, seemingly genuine information about a sugar plantation where Penny might be sends them back to Barbados. But are they already too late?
 
A riveting historical adventure set in 17th century West Indies, Our Little Life is the second book in Dodie Bishop's 'Silence And Shadows' series.

    In sleepy, rural North Wales, Frankie Gibbs, a recently laid off, aimless twenty-year-old on Universal Credit, wants nothing more than to keep his younger brother out of the care system. He single-handedly takes this upon himself while their alcoholic, cocaine-addict, single-parent father, Guy Gibbs, heaps misery on their lives through systematic abuse and his never-ending wild parties. After Guy is sent to prison, Frankie is coerced into opening his home to Justin, an acquaintance from his school days now turned drug dealer, while his own addiction and self-worth spiral beyond recognition. 
    ''One visit is an astonishing debut. It's raw, shocking, disturbing, insightful and dark, pretty much from start to finish. There are flashes of wit but, in the main, it's a full-frontal assault with the truth of physical, psychological, social and political deterioration in a beautiful part of Wales.''

    Murder Most Foul is a dark, witty and fast-paced novel, from one of Britain’s best-loved screenwriters. 
    It’s 1593, Elizabeth I is Queen and everyone is terrified of the worst outbreak of plague in a generation. Shakespeare has only written six plays and is lagging behind his friend Christopher Marlowe, London’s leading playwright. 
     
    When Marlowe is stabbed to death in mysterious circumstances, rumours abound – but the one that won’t go away is that Shakespeare did it to remove his greatest rival. Will is determined to clear his name, and teams up with his old flame, Marlowe’s sister Ann, who has plenty of secrets of her own. 
     
    In their search to solve the crime, Will and Ann uncover a dark world of treachery, murder, and corruption – which in turn provides Shakespeare with scenes and characters which will appear in his greatest plays.

    For the sake of his master's memory, Sand will kill to recover a magnificent sword 
     
     
     
    Though useless in battle, the emperor's katana is a beautiful weapon. Cast from solid gold, this 1,200-year-old blade was thought to be lost until Master Konuma, teacher of samurais, presents it as a gift to the people of Japan. Soon after, he is savagely murdered, leaving his American student, Robert Sand, to avenge his death. The sensei is gone, but the sword remains as a symbol of his generosity—until the day the katana vanishes. 
     
     
     
    A madman snatches the treasure from the Metropolitan Museum, wanting the katana at his side as he makes a bid for world domination. Now it's Sand's turn to steal it back, and destroy the monster who dishonored his sensei's memory. The katana is too valuable to use in a fight, but for its sake much blood will flow.
