  Disgraced Detective Dave Slater is stuck on gardening leave, down in the quiet Hampshire town of Tinton, with just one last chance to redeem himself.

  Now Slater’s boss slips him the file, asking him to investigate discreetly, with the help of an unlikely new assistant. Bedraggled fifty-something Detective Norman Norman.

  The deeper Slater digs into the missing woman’s many secrets, the more he realizes, someone out there doesn’t want her found. 
   
  And they’ll stop at nothing to keep Slater from the truth.

  The Fly - Influential modernist...

  Katherine Mansfield

  Katherine Mansfield was born on 14th October 1888 into a prominent family in Wellington, New Zealand, the third of five children. 
   
  A gifted Celloist, at one point she thought she might take it up professionally at the same time her early writing was published in school magazines. 
   
  At 19 Katherine left for home for England, there she met the modernist writers D H Lawrence and Virginia Woolf with whom she became close friends. 
   
  She travelled around Europe before returning to New Zealand in 1906 and to begin writing a series of the short stories that she would later become famous for. They often focus on moments of disruption and frequently open rather abruptly.  
   
  In contrast her poetry is often overlooked and indeed it comes from seemingly a rather different part of her literary brain.  Her observations and language can at times seem innocent, almost child-like.  But there are others which give a very different view, another layer to be ventured into and discovered. 
   
  By 1908 she had returned to London and to a rather more bohemian lifestyle. A passionate affair resulted in her becoming pregnant but married off instead to an older man who she left the same evening with the marriage unconsummated.  She was then to miscarry and be cut out of her mother’s will, allegedly because of her lesbianism. 
   
  In 1911 she started a relationship with John Middleton Murry a magazine editor and, although it was volatile, it enabled her to write some of her best stories. 
   
  During the First World War Mansfield contracted extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which rendered any return or visit to New Zealand impossible. 
   
  Katherine Mansfield died at the age of only 34 on January 9th 1923 in Fontainebleau, France.

  Pillar of Fire

  Pillar of Fire by Ray Bradbury is a haunting and philosophical science fiction novella that explores the boundaries between life and death in a sterile, futuristic society that has abolished the very concept of mortality. When William Lantry, a man long dead, awakens in a world where death has been erased from memory and corpses are destroyed rather than buried, he becomes the last ghost of humanity’s forgotten fear. Driven by loneliness and rage, Lantry wages a one-man war against a civilization that refuses to remember its dead. Bradbury’s chilling tale is both a meditation on human emotion and a gothic confrontation between memory, mortality, and progress—a story that challenges what it means to truly be alive in an age without death. Perfect for fans of classic speculative fiction, dystopian futures, and gothic horror.

  The story begins when a friend of Dr. Watson's wife comes to Watson's house, frantic because her husband, who is addicted to opium, has gone missing. Watson helps her pull him out of the opium den and sends him home. Watson is surprised to find that Sherlock Holmes is there too, in disguise and trying to get information to solve a different case about a man who has disappeared. Watson stays to listen to Holmes tell the story of the case of Neville St. Clair. 
  St. Clair is a prosperous, respectable, punctual man. His family's home is in the country, but he visits London every day on business. One day when Mr. St. Clair was in London, Mrs. St. Clair also went to London separately. She happened to pass down Upper Swandam Lane, a "vile alley" near the London docks, where the opium den is. Glancing up, she saw her husband at a second-floor window of the opium den. He vanished from the window immediately, and Mrs. St. Clair was sure that there was something wrong.
