What effect do the places where we live or work have on us? Historian Roberta Rio, who researches the history of buildings, apartments and properties for her clients, regularly comes across astonishing and recurrent patterns.
In this book she reveals what the Etruscans, the Romans and Cathedral architects all knew about the effects of places, what we ourselves should know and how we can find it out.
Rio offers us a refreshingly down-to-earth summary of the findings of her research, and makes it practicable for our own personal use.
How do we know if a place is good or bad for us? Which place is good to rest and which to work in? Why are there places where relationships flourish and others where they are more likely to break up?
The past doesn't always stay where it should. It is as though somebody, or something, is forever trying to bring it painfully into the present.
Flavian Bennett is trying to leave his past behind when he goes to work in his father's bookshop in Paris. But a curious customer, Reginald Hopper, is desperate to resurrect his own murky origins. Hopper believes that a rare and mysterious book, The Dark Return of Time, may be the key to what happened before he arrived in Paris. In this quiet thriller by R.B. Russell, the futures - and pasts - of these two men will soon cross.

A young man's friend has gone missing. Holmes and Watson go with him to Birmingham to help look for the missing fellow. What they find is horrifying. Two more bodies of young men then turn up in London. All of the victims are tied to Cambridge University.

The story is based on the true story of James Whitaker Wright and is inspired by the original Sherlock Holmes story, The Stock Broker's Clerk. Any resemblance of the villain to a certain current American politician is entirely coincidental.
