|author=Alexander Wilson
|title=The Devil's Cocktail
|rating=4.5
|genre=Thrillers
|summary=Alexander Wilson, author of the ''Wallace'' series, was a writer, spy and secret service officer. Interesting that the biog-writer makes a distincation between the last two of those professions. Be that as it may, Wilson was one of the early writers in the genre that would lead to Bond and Smiley. Whilst perhaps not quite reaching the literary style and fame of those who would follow in his footsteps, he created characters and plots that were very popular at the time, are very much of their time and are now getting a well-deserved re-issue.

|author=Richard Castle
|summary=Oliver Dalrymple is dead. He realised this the moment he woke up in the rebirthing bed. His friends and tormentors had always called him Boo because of his ghostly pale complexion and now he's finally earned the nickname fully. What he hasn't realised is the way in which he died; he thinks he died of holey heart problems in front of his locker while reciting the periodic table. The location is correct but, meeting Johnny (an equally dead former classmate) reveals, he was actually murdered. What's worse, their murderer has been spotted there in 13 year olds' heaven.

|title=The Infidel Stain
|rating=4
|genre=Crime (Historical)
|summary= London, 1841. Newly returned from India, Jeremiah Blake and William Avery find life back in Victorian England difficult to settle into, having left a disconnected country travelled by pony and trap, and returned to one in the grip of railway mania. When a series of murders occur, all connected to the press, Avery and Blake find themselves back in action. But with connections between the murdered and those seeking revolution, it is a race against time to find the killer before he strikes again.
