"When Clara meets Elias, she isn't looking for love. Widowed and wary of being hurt again, she has built a careful life of work and quiet independence. Elias, an actor in his thirties, is trapped in a relationship that no longer feels real, more at ease slipping into a role than being himself. Yet from the moment they meet, something genuine sparks between them – something neither has felt in years. They fall into step easily, sharing secrets, laughter and the sense of being seen. But there is the age difference, the miles between their worlds, and the lingering guilt that ties Clara to her past. When a new job takes her to another part of the country, she ends the relationship before he can – certain that love like theirs cannot last. And then Elias falls ill, forcing them both to confront what truly matters."
"For the villagers of Brimberley, the worst thing looming on the horizon is the chance of being outshone by the rival village choir of Bramshott - that is, until Brimberley's lead tenor is blown up in his home by an explosion that rocks the whole community. While the police muster their forces, the motorcycling choir leader Liz enlists her ex-commando son and a retired general to help investigate the shocking murder. Together, they step into a case swirling with secrets: dark revelations from the Second World War, lurking parochial grudges, the local mystery of a burglar with a mythical reputation - and the identity of a volatile killer poised to strike again. First published in 1955, this classic village mystery with lashings of spy fiction showcases Gilbert's ingenious plotting, sharp humour, and ability to blow the reader's expectations sky high through taut pacing and explosive twists."

In 1962, three sorcerers converged to do battle in a hidden chamber near a disused platform in the London Underground. Prophecy foretold that the victor would hold the very fate of humanity in their hands. Since then… nothing.
