Could you sleep, knowing the danger?The tranquil air of a Sussex vineyard is shattered when a holidaying couple are found riddled with bullets. It has all the hallmarks of a mob hit or a drugs deal gone wrong, but DI Angus Henderson isn't so sure. Investigations reveal someone else had booked the same week at the holiday house as the victims, but cancelled at the last minute. Is this the breakthrough the DI craves, or a sideshow to stop him investigating the vineyard owner who consorts with serious criminals? The case drives Henderson inevitably towards a ruthless individual, one who will kill anyone interfering with his business, or someone getting too close to members of his family.

There are few more beautiful places than Scotland’s winter mountains. But even when most of the snow has melted, isolated patches can linger well into summer and beyond. In The Vanishing Ice, Iain Cameron chronicles these remarkable and little-seen relics of the Ice Age, describing how they have fascinated travellers and writers for hundreds of years, and reflecting on the impact of climate change.Iain was nine years old when snow patches first captured his imagination, and they have been inextricably bound with his life ever since. He developed his expertise through correspondence (and close friendship) with research ecologist Dr Adam Watson, and is today Britain’s foremost authority on this weather phenomenon.Iain takes us on a tour of Britain which includes the Scottish Highlands, the Southern Uplands, the Lake District and Snowdonia, seeking elusive patches of snow in wild and often inaccessible locations. His adventures include a perilous climb in the Cairngorms with comedian Ed Byrne, and glorious days spent out on the hills with Andrew Cotter and his very good dogs, Olive and Mabel.Based on sound scientific evidence and personal observations, accompanied by stunning photography and wrapped in Iain’s shining passion for the British landscape, The Vanishing Ice is a eulogy to snow, the mountains and the great outdoors.
