The accident is blamed on a faulty burner, but festival organizer and part-time balloonist Skye Hawkins notices the evidence doesn't add up.

With help from her adventurous dachshund, Nimbus, and a quiet balloon mechanic with a keen eye for detail, Skye uncovers a sky-high stack of suspects. From a rival pilot accused of stealing routes and a disgruntled former employee to a secret investor with everything to gain, everyone has a motive for clipping the victim's wings. Can Skye piece together the clues before the killer cuts another cord and sends her dreams crashing down?

    Since its inception in the 19th Century photography has been a trusted source capturing both truth and reality.  It cannot lie.  Our eyes may deceive us, but the camera cannot.  It is also an Art.  Down through the decades this art has produced stunning images that literally capture a story whether it be in War photography, celebrity mishaps, even political downfalls and much else besides.   
     
    In this volume whilst our classic authors are at the early edge of photography’s development, they use it in ways that are both innovative and atmospheric as very often the camera and the photographer become a central part in many fascinating stories.
