In Focus
Iona is an enchanting,

Columba's arrival in AD563. Iona is a small island some

Mull. ( More ...)

A fast-paced thriller set largely in Edinburgh and Stockholm during World War Two. It's March 1943. The death of an intruder in a
hidden bunker leads to a much larger secret buried beneath Edinburgh Castle. As the mystery unravels, Bob Sutherland and Monique Dubois
are sent to Stockholm, a city supposedly at peace in a world at war, to take delivery of a message of critical national importance. Or is
it a trap? Can their relationship survive what they uncover? Will they live long enough for that to matter?
