The FBI have asked the US attorney's office to investigate ties between drug enforcement agents and a known Mafia figure - Sal.

Stephen King Dreamcatcher Pbk published March 2003 by NEL at £6.99 ISBN: 0340734639

Duddits was our finest hour, man, Duddits was how we defined ourselves.

Suspenseful, frightening, sometimes howlingly funny, Dreamcatcher is a powerful masterpiece from Stephen King, his first full-length novel in three years.

In Derry, Maine (scene of It and Insomnia) four young boys once stood together and did a brave thing. Something that changed them in ways they hardly understand. A quarter-century later, the boys are men who have gone their separate ways. Though they still get together once a year, to go hunting in the north woods of Maine. But this time a man comes stumbling into their camp, lost, disoriented and muttering about lights in the sky. Before long, these old friends will be plunged into the most remarkable events of their lives as they struggle with a terrible creature from another world. Their only chance of survival is locked in their past... and in the boy they rescued all those years ago.

'A writer of excellence ... King is one of the most fertile storytellers of the modern novel' The Sunday Times

Stephen King is the author of more than thirty books, all of them international bestsellers. He lives in Bangor, Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.

Pat O'Keeffe Burn Out Pbk published February 2003 by NEL at £6.99 ISBN: 0340820187

Wales is supposed to be a rest cure, a chance to exorcise the demons of injury, guilt and betrayal. But before Steve Jay has even reached the remote clinic, he has had to deal with a house fire and a clear case of murder. Then he is caught in a forest fire, an elemental force; awesome, destructive, deadly. Steve Jay, seeking rest and isolation, has landed on an anthill, a vicious eco-war between the Welsh and a multi-national mining conglomerate. By degrees he is drawn into the battle, lured by a beautiful woman with a past: a past that will engulf him. He returns to London not whole, but functional; not healed, but rested, with breath enough to try to regain his position and self-respect. But he has scarcely time to settle in when a huge explosion rips the heart from a building and presents him and his crew with the most dangerous incident they have ever faced - the eco-war has followed him to London. Jay is forced to go back to Wales and discover the truth, but not before a woman he thought he'd never see again returns with trouble on her mind and Jay in her heart.
