Summary

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish is about to discover that during World War II, there’s as much intrigue on the home front as on the front lines.   The big, broken-nosed Patrick Dawlish has a history of matching wits against those who have outwitted the police. It’s practically become his chosen vocation when he’s not serving in Her Majesty’s armed forces. Dawlish’s requests to serve overseas have been rejected since he’s far too valuable in England.   This is how he finds himself on a train to London with friends Ted Beresford and Timothy Jeremy—three junior officers with the same mysterious orders to meet in the same mysterious room. Someone is attempting to sabotage negotiations between Ireland and England—and delaying much-needed wartime supplies. Within a day of reaching London, Dawlish and his men are faced with fires, explosions, and a shocking political assassination. And now, at least two countries will learn that it’s never smart to have Dawlish in the mix when he begins to take matters personally . . .

When the body of a local talent show winner is discovered, on the eve of headlining Kilwinnoch’s annual Civic Week celebrations, it throws the festivities into chaos and threatens to tear the close-knit community apart. 
 
For DCI Bone, the death is personal. Days earlier, he’d received a call from the victim, warning that she was about to be killed. He’d dismissed it as a hoax. 
 
With threats of more to come, a town on edge, and a ruthless killer evading detection with ease, Bone knows from hard -worn experience that, in a case like this, one kill is never enough. 
Set among the dramatic hills and glens of Scotland's Campsie Fells, The Killing Parade is the fourth book in a series of edge-of-your-seat crime mysteries 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 Dancing Floor by John Buchan is a haunting blend of mystery, mythology, and romance. The story follows Sir Edward Leithen, who encounters Vernon Milburne, a young man guarding a secret tied to the enigmatic island of Plakos in Greece. As Leithen investigates, he uncovers a tale of ancient rituals, forbidden love, and a cursed family haunted by the legend of Persephone. The titular "dancing floor" refers to a sacred space central to the island’s eerie traditions. Buchan weaves themes of cultural clash, spiritual awakening, and the thin veil between the rational and supernatural. Rich with atmospheric detail and suspense, the novel explores the tension between modernity and primal forces. A mesmerizing mix of adventure and mysticism, The Dancing Floor captivates readers with its exploration of fate, faith, and the enduring power of myth.
