  Nobody on her college staircase seemed able to understand how Rowan came to be in the Intensive Care Ward following an overdose, nor could Rowan.  She could remember nothing leading up to her admission.  Over the next few weeks, as first one, and then another of her college acquaintances was murdered, Rowan began to vaguely recall some of the events, but there was always a block to fully remembering what happened on that fateful afternoon and evening.
   
  Detective Inspector Jerry Gregory and his team investigating the murders linked them to a drug dealing syndicate based around Cambridge and London, and to the back story of one of the murder victims.

  A COMPELLING AND CLAUSTROPHOBIC THRILLER
  
  'Once I'd started reading I could not put it down' IAIN MAITLAND
  
  When burned-out investigative journalist Adam Budd's estranged mother dies, he inherits her estate. This includes Stone Heart House, a huge, ramshackle mansion on a remote Scottish island. He visits the island to sort out her tangled affairs, and at first it seems like a charming haven of tranquillity. But after he witnesses a strange accident, he begins to develop suspicions about the inhabitants.
  
  Why does everyone seem so eerily calm, even under stress? What is stopping Harriet, the lawyer helping him with his affairs, from leaving the island when she so clearly wants to? Is he making a big mistake by falling for her? And why have so many children gone missing?
  
  Stone Heart Deep is a compelling and claustrophobic thriller with a remarkable twist, as if Iain Banks had rewritten The Wicker Man.
