Sinopsis

The novel tells of the encounter with the pioneers of bamboo bicycle construction, at the end of the 19th century in Austria, through a journey through time. The journey into virtual reality is made possible by artificial intelligence. The framework is a research project called Metaverse+. Rigorously researched, historical facts are woven into a narrative that makes clear the motivations and emotions of the pioneers. Behind this, however, there is always the question of what the retrospective experience of past events means for the time travelers.

    ___________ 
    In the village of Castle Farthing a mean-spirited, spiteful, curmudgeonly old man is found drugged and strangled in the kitchen of his cottage, with no obvious clues to the perpetrator of the crime. 
    DI Falconer and Acting DS Carmichael are summoned from the police headquarters in the nearby town of Market Darley and begin to uncover a web of grudges against the old man and a sea of familial connections between those who knew him. 
    As the heat of July continues relentlessly, tempers flare, disturbing the usual rural calm of the village, and the normally imperturbable Harry Falconer. Faced with a crime with no obvious prime suspect and the idiosyncrasies of his new partner, Carmichael, is he gradually losing his grip on the case as the body count rises?

    Escape to Apple Hill Bay this Christmas, where the snow sparkles, the hot chocolate flows, the fires crackle and love is in the air. This gorgeous new love story by multi-million selling author Holly Martin is the perfect treat to warm your heart this Christmas. 
    For as long as she can remember Orla Kennedy has been in love with her best friend. A love she’s more than aware is very much unrequited. At age fourteen, when she first set her eyes on the gorgeous Shay Lucas in the beautiful town of Apple Hill Bay, she felt an undeniable bond form between them. And as the years passed, and they shared their hopes and dreams under the stars at Cranberry Cove, he unknowingly stole her heart. But apart from one magical Christmas when Orla let herself believe for a moment that Shay might feel the same way, only to have her hopes shattered, she has been content to hide her true feelings for him. For Orla, being Shay’s best friend is better than not having him in her life at all. 
    But what if Orla doesn’t really know how Shay truly feels? What if he has good reason to protect his heart? And what if this Christmas, Fate threw them a curveball that would turn their lives upside-down and force them to confront the fears that keep their love locked away? Because there’s nothing like the possibility of losing the most important person in your life to give a heart some courage… 
    It's the most wonderful time of the year, so curl up and get cosy with an unforgettable love story that’s guaranteed to make all your Christmas wishes come true. Perfect for fans of Hallmark Christmas movies and authors such as Jill Mansell, Sue Moorcroft and Phillipa Ashley
