Coincidence

ISBN: 0743115736
Coincidence, synchronicity and the meaning of life -
a thumping good read!
George Daly is a non-fiction writer. He writes books `that occupy a
kind of
no-man's-land between real science and fantastical speculation.' On
the day
of his father's death he comes up with his next book idea: coincidence.
He
has not thought of the ways in which this will change his life and
understanding of reality. From the discovery of a `twin' brother to the
bombshell of his wife's infidelity; from his death at the hands of his
twin's
enemies to his return and involvement in murders.
David Ambrose has written a fast-forward thriller that plays with
synchronicity and reality - truly a novel for the new millennium.
David Ambrose began his career screen-writing for Orson Welles. He
read law at Oxford
and has worked internationally in theatre, television and film. His
highly acclaimed novels,
The Man Who Turned Into Himself, Mother of God, Superstition and
The Discrete Charm
of Charlie Monk, and a collection of short stories, Hollywood Lies, are
all available. He
lives in the South of France.

Bernard Knight
ex Home Office Pathologist and author of the highly acclaimed Crowner John series
A tough, gritty police procedural set in Leicester.
The discovery of a butchered pig deliberately left in a local mosque is the catalyst which ignites the simmering racial tension in inner-city Leicester into open warfare. As the police come under fire for their inappropriate response, and the violence starts to escalate, mixed-race Inspector Marjorie (Mo) Akanbai finds herself made into a convenient scapegoat. In addition to watching her painstaking community-relations police work go up in smoke and with her emotional life in crisis, Mo is faced with a terrified Serbian asylum seeker, the brutal murder of an Asian factory owner, a gang of white supremacists, a counterfeit CD scam and an unplanned pregnancy.

Terms Limited
Pbk published June 2003 by Pocket Books at £6.99
ISBN: 0743468244
With a unique flair for heart-pounding dramatic tension combined with the technical precision of Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn evokes a chillingly credible scenario of Washington under seige in this provocative, edge-of-your-seat political thriller. On an overcast night in Washington D.C. a group of highly trained killers embark on a mission of shattering brutality. A shocked country awakens to the devastating news that three of their most powerful and unscrupulous politicians have been brutally murdered. In the political firestorm and media frenzy that follow, the assassins release their demands: either the country's leaders set aside their petty, partisan politics and restore power to the people, or be held to deadly account. Term Limits is a tour de force of authenticity and suspense, an utterly compelling vision in which the ultimate democratic ideal - a government of the people - is taken to a devastating extreme.

The remote town in the Welsh valleys was a wonderful, magical - but

collecting so secretly in those jars of hers.
But at the end of that long, hot summer of 1963, one of the four children
disappeared. Nearly forty years later retired detective Will Sloane, never
able to forget the unsolved case, returns to Wales to resume his search for
the truth. His investigation will draw him into a number of interlocking
mysteries, each one more puzzling than the last...
Brought up in Wales, Barbara Horton now lives in Plymouth where she teaches
at a school for children with special needs. A Jarful of Angels is her first
