  September, 1145. The body of a Templar knight is discovered in the Forest of Wyre on Worcestershire's northern border, and concealed upon his person is a bloodstained document that reveals the identity of a traitor. Undersherif Hugh Bradecote, Sergeant Catchpoll and Underserjeant Walkelin must discover who the dead man was and whether his death was personal, political or an outlaw killing. They are surprised to find that the locals believe the killer to be the Raven Woman, a shape-changer, who lurks in the woods, and when they discover the identity of the dead knight, Ivo de Mitton, long ago believed to have killed his own kin, there are more questions than answers. Does the tale of the Raven Woman contain a kernel of truth? Is the suspected traitor really guilty, and if not, who gains most by his fall from grace? Ultimately, can Bradecote, Catchpoll and Walkelin see the wood from the trees and bring a killer to justice?

  "The President has come to Deadwood—and his enemies have come out of the woodwork—in an action-packed tale of vengeance and justice from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. 
    
  Deadwood, South Dakota. Miners flock there seeking fortunes, while cardsharps, bandits, and businessmen seek to deprive those who strike gold by means fair and foul. Legendary former lawman Seth Bullock plans to keep the peace by any means necessary—especially when his good friend, President Theodore Roosevelt, is expected in town to celebrate the anniversary of Deadwood’s founding. 
    
  Delayed in Washington, the President has sent his wife and children to the boomtown ahead of his arrival. But Ambrose Neill, a former New York City policeman jailed by Roosevelt for corruption, has kidnapped the President’s daughter. Backed by a gang of trigger-happy outlaws and supported by a ruthless senator, Neill plans to politically control the Commander-in-Chief before slaughtering him. 
    
  But what Neill and his cohorts don’t realize is that Roosevelt has gathered a deadly posse of rough riders including Bullock—and the legendary father-son gunfighters Frank and Conrad Morgan—who are more likely to bring the gang to justice dead than alive. 
   
  Performed by Ken Jackson, James Konicek, Eric Messner, Jeff Allin, Bradley Foster Smith, Christopher Graybill, Michael Glenn, Amanda Forstrom, Bruce Alan Rauscher, Chris Stinson, Christopher Davenport, Christopher Walker, Colleen Delany, Danny Gavigan, David Zitney, Drew Kopas, Earl Fisher, Elias Khalil, Elizabeth Jernigan, James Lewis, Joel David Santner, Karen Novack, Lily Beacon, Matthew Pauli, Michael John Casey, Mort Shelby, Nanette Savard, Richard Rohan, Rose Elizabeth Supan, Scott McCormick, Steve Wannall, Steven Carpenter, Terence Aselford, Tim Carlin, Tia Shearer."

  When the ground shifts, where is one true thing to be found?  
  Jane, in her twenties, is left parentless when her father dies suddenly; a second shock follows when his Will reveals the existence of a son no-one knew of. Now Wildings, the family home, must be sold. Spanning two generations, the novel tells the story of Bridget, Jane’s mother, trapped in an unhappy marriage on which her career depends, and of stone-carver Meg, who wants only independence but is enmeshed in conflicting loyalties and desires when Adam, a young artist, enters their lives, to devastating effect. 
  Now far from Wildings, Meg is bound by a promise to support Jane in her loss. Having thought of herself as an observer who saw everything, she’s forced to realise how much she failed to see – and the cost to those she loves. 
  ‘A beautifully complex tapestry of lives and relationships … a novel to immerse yourself in.’ Jane Rogers, author of Mr Wroe’s Virgins 
  ‘Newbery writes wonderfully.’ Financial Times
