Sinopsis

Edinburgh, 1820s. On one side is the Old Town; ancient, crumbling and full of poverty. On the other is the New Town - elegant, refined and prosperous.
 
When newly qualified Doctor Martin Elliot arrives, he discovers that the duality goes deeper. There is more darkness in the streets than he could have imagined. Ghosts of the long-dead haunt the houses, and nightmares soon fill Martin’s head.
 
Only a relic of the past - a dark, carved staff - seems to give Martin respite. But can be balance its power with the burden that comes with it, or will evil overcome his good intentions?
 
Dark Capital is a standalone novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.

Malcolm Burns is running from a shady past. Determined to remain aloof from society, he keeps his secrets close but develops an unlikely friendship with Elijah Crane. Despite their camaraderie, Malcolm never discloses his dark history. 
 
 
 
Once in Boston, Malcolm battles the delusion that his former partner is seeking revenge. Elizabeth, a trained healer, struggles against the superstition of a community that sorely needs her medical expertise.

"Sports is like war without the killing." "Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. "Ted Turner and President Woodrow Wilson have enlightened us with their innermost thoughts regarding sports and friendship. 
Framily (friends considered family), in similar fashion to the first two books of the trilogy, "8" Center Field in New York, 1951-1957 and Dopey Bastid coalesces sports and friendship in a unique way. 
Three friends since childhood, now adults and all reconnected with their teenage girlfriends and starting families; share the spotlight as the recollection of notable sporting events come to life. Relive accounts of the NCAA tournament with Magic and Bird, the USA Olympic hockey team miracle in 1980, the Mets World Series victory over the Red Sox in 1986, the Giants Super Bowl XXI triumph, and many others as you laugh out loud, perhaps shed a tear and reflect on the true meaning of friendship. 
The Kirkus Review of Framily was highly complementary of the author... "Saulino has developed a smart way of storytelling via weaving his characters plotlines together with contemporary sports events... it's an eye-catching and inventive strategy... this novel will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story about good friends."

There they find themselves in a burgeoning artistic scene where old friends encourage them to seek out a completely new life in a rather different part of the world.

Will this be the turning point? Can Margaret's continuing love and support be just the leverage Charles needs to reinvent himself as an artist?

In the dead of night, a figure flits through the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey, searching for a hidden document he knows could change the course of history. The journal he discovers, by a young soldier, David Erskine, records an extraordinary story. 
 
 
 
When the Allies drive the Germans out of France and victory seems imminent, Erskine is in Antwerp, where he witnesses a world-changing reversal of fortune. From a high vantage point, he watches a huge mushroom cloud rise over London: an atomic bomb has been detonated by the Germans in a last desperate roll of the dice. 
 
 
 
Captor becomes captive and Erskine is held as a POW in his own land. As the brutal grip of the occupying forces tightens, he is determined to join the resistance. A daring escape leads him and his fiancée Katie on a breathless chase to the university town of St. Andrews, where the Germans have established a secret research laboratory. When it becomes clear what its purpose is, David, Katie, and their small, trusted band must adopt a desperate and audacious plan to thwart Nazi domination . . .
