WHEN A CHILD DISAPPEARS, NO SECRET IS SAFE . . . *THE TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH* 'This is McIlvanney at his masterful best' - DAILY MAIL 'A moving and absorbing dive into grief and love, and how far a parent would go to save their child' - OBSERVER 'Fascinating, moving, disturbing, and surely Liam McIlvanney's best novel to date' - SCOTSMAN 'Heart-stopping and heart-rending, this is Liam McIlvanney's best novel yet' VAL MCDERMID THE POIGNANT AND BRILLIANTLY CLEVER NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM AWARD-WINNING CRIME AUTHOR, LIAM McILVANNEY. Gordon and Sarah Rutherford are normal, happy people with rich, fulfilling lives. They have a son they adore, a house on the beach and a safe, friendly community in a picture-postcard town. Until, one day, Bonnie the labrador comes in from the beach alone. Their son, Rory, has gone - the only trace left behind is a single black sandal. Their lives don't fall apart immediately. While there's still hope, they dig deep and try to carry on. But as desperation mounts, arms around shoulders become fingers pointed - at friends, family, strangers, each other. Without any answers, only questions remain. Who can they trust? How far will they go to find out what happened to Rory? And the deadliest question of all: what could be worse than your child disappearing? When the truth begins to emerge, they find themselves in a world they could barely have imagined. 'Beautifully written, this is easily one of the finest crime novels I've read in a very long time' C.M. EWAN

The stunning psychological thriller from the award-winning crime writer

This Bright Life

This book examines intermediate appellate courts by using the Irish Court of Appeal as a case study. The operation and contribution of intermediate appellate courts are often overlooked in legal scholarship, which tends to focus on apex courts, most frequently national supreme courts. However, intermediate appellate courts perform a series of vital functions, including error prevention, the development of doctrine, and ensuring that apex courts are free to concentrate on issues of exceptional public importance. The significance of intermediate appellate courts has increased in recent decades in tandem with an increase in the volume and complexity of litigation in many countries. The Irish Court of Appeal was established in 2014 and this enables a number of dimensions of non-apex courts to be examined, including the rationales for, and challenges of, inserting such a court into an existing and well-established legal system. Institutional aspects of the court such as the appointment and promotion of its judges and its rules on dissent are analysed. The process of 'setting up court' is described. In addition, its contribution to some areas of substantive law over the first 10 years of its operation is evaluated. Interviews with judges who have served on the Court enrich the book's account of its operation and development. In addition, comparative perspectives from Northern Ireland and England and Wales enhance the analysis of an integral part of many legal systems.

She takes her time, kissing my neck. . . . I pull her closer, and I say, Bite me.” In the mists of the Scottish Highlands is a university where vampires study alongside humans.

The Poetry of Arab Women

*FEATURING A FOREWORD BY ROD STEWART* Stuart Wood's love of music was ignited at fourteen when he, along with three schoolmates, formed a band. By the time he turned fifteen, he had left school to pursue a career as an electrician, blissfully unaware of the whirlwind that awaited him. Suddenly, he found himself living the life of a superstar, whisked away in limousines, pursued by frenzied fans on every continent, and thrust into the ranks of one of the bestselling groups in history. Between 1971 and 1977, Edinburgh's Bay City Rollers achieved ten top-ten hit singles, four top-ten albums, two number-one singles and two number-one albums. For five years, they were the biggest pop teen sensation since the Beatles. But the music industry was not all glitz and glamour. Stuart had no inkling of the ruthless machinery behind the scenes, exploiting his talent and dreams. Rollermania swept the globe, the Bay City Rollers conquered hearts and charts, selling a staggering 300 million records. While many claim to know the full Rollermania story, for the first time, Stuart - one of the few people who lived it - tells his story. Mania is a celebration of one of the world's biggest bands and their enduring legacy, a rollercoaster ride through fame, fortune and the unforgettable music that defined an era.
