  Till Death Do Us Part 
  Enjoying a rare break in his remote lochside cabin, DCI Bone suddenly finds himself cut off when the mother of all snowstorms hits the Campsie Fells. Intrigued by the flickering lights from one of the loch’s uninhabited islands, Bone commandeers a local boat and heads out across stormy waters to investigate. 
   
  There, amongst the island’s ancient Celtic gravestones, Bone makes a grisly, surreal discovery: a mutilated bride and groom, bound together in frozen union. 
   
  Unable to contact his team at Kilwinnoch Police Station and ill-prepared for the weather, Bone faces one of the most gruelling cases of his career, as he battles fierce elemental forces to catch an ingenious killer with a heart far colder than a Scottish winter. 
   
  Set among the dramatic hills and glens of Scotland's Campsie Fells, Isle of the Dead is the fifth book in the bestselling edge-of-your-seat Scottish crime series that will keep you guessing right up to the nail-biting, heart-stopping climax. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, J.D. Kirk, Val McDermid and Stuart MacBride.

  The Five Orange Pips, one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the fifth of the twelve stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in November 1891. Conan Doyle later ranked the story seventh in a list of his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories. A young gentleman named John Openshaw has a strange story: in 1869 his uncle Elias Openshaw had suddenly come back to England to settle on an estate in Horsham, West Sussex after living for years in the United States as a planter in Florida and serving as a colonel in the Confederate Army.Not being married, Elias had allowed his nephew to stay at his estate. Strange incidents have occurred; one is that although John could go anywhere in the house, he could never enter a locked room containing his uncle's trunks. Another peculiarity was that in March 1883 a letter postmarked Pondicherry, in India, arrived for the Colonel inscribed only "K. K. K." with five orange pips (seeds) enclosed.More strange things happened: Papers from the locked room were burnt and a will was drawn up leaving the estate to John Openshaw. The Colonel's behaviour became bizarre. He would either lock himself in his room and drink or he would go shouting forth in a drunken sally with a pistol in his hand. On 2 May 1883 he was found dead in a garden pool.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle's: "A Study in Scarlet", "Silver Blaze", "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Yellow Face", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Red-Headed League", A Case of Identity", "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", "The Five Orange Pips", "The Man with the Twisted Lip", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Speckled Band", "The Engineer's Thumb", "The Noble Bachelor", "The Beryl Coronet", "The Copper Beeches" and many more.

  I made it home. But something came with me … 
  From hero to outcast. From saviour to biohazard … 
  As hollow victories go, this one is hard to beat. 
  When Driver and I saved Earth from the Anomaly's suffocating radiation, we thought it was all over. 
  Our triumphant return from the occupied alien world of Bayzen was supposed to draw a line under everything. 
  The problem is, we didn't come home alone. 
  No one has ever seen anything like this. 
  What they're calling it sends shivers down my spine: a parasitic alien pathogen. 
  It could be a virus, a toxin, or maybe something even worse. And believe me: what we don't know definitely can hurt us. 
  It's too late for me—I've been exposed. But this has never been about me. 
  It's going to take some incredible risks and another long-shot space mission to get to the bottom of this, but I'll fight until my last breath to undo the damage I've done. 
  As a horrible question echoes in my mind, I'll do anything to make sure the answer is the right one: 
  Am I Earth's last hope … or the man who sealed its fate?
