Book Description
Sprung from a prison in the centre of a star, the universe's last criminal is employed to kill the population of a planet. It is a crime that will tear apart an interstellar utopia. Keeping ahead of detection and preparing the crime, the killer voyages to numerous worlds and hones the instincts required for murder. And wonders who is behind the contract. Roberts' new novel is an extraordinary fusing of ideas, exotic locations, personal drama and an enquiry into the nature of crime in a society that thinks it has forgotten how to commit it.

Scotland Yard detective James Pibble travels to a remote Scottish island to free an old man from a dangerous cult of self-proclaimed saints and saviors in this mystery by CWA Gold Dagger winner Peter Dickinson Ninety-two-year-old Sir Francis Francis summons James Pibble to an isolated island in the Hebrides to find out who pilfered the memoirs he was in the process of writing. The Nobel Prize–winning scientist was one of the builders of the first atom bomb. Is Francis senile? Paranoid? Was the manuscript really stolen? What’s the real reason he sent for Pibble? As Pibble tries to untangle the mystery of the missing document, he starts to suspect that the devout millenarian religious sect inhabiting the island may be less virtuous than it seems; the community is strangely hell-bent on preventing Francis from ever leaving. It’s up to Pibble to seek out the truth and find his own salvation before the walls of Jericho come tumbling down forever. The Sinful Stones is the 3rd book in the James Pibble Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Book Description
The Stone and the Shadow is a series of twelve volumes. It is the fable of Stone, who finds himself in the quest for several answers at a time that demands more insight than he can engender. Like many others, he thought his quest would end when he did find his answers; strangely, that was when the quest really began. His journey continues as he meets several magical personalities that accompany him as he stumbles across complicated hurdles and unexpected rewards in a strange land, where the laws of physics act peculiarly at every step. Stone’s chief mentor in this maze of exhilarating experiences is a youthful angelic-being by the name of Star who steers him wisely and wittily through a potentially disturbing string of incidences, as they inch closer to the titillating goal of their quest. The story of this quest is dedicated to the wisdom and peace that lies within each one of us.
