THE SECOND THRILLING NOVEL IN VAL MCDERMID''S NEW SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES It''s 1989 and Allie Burns is back. Older and maybe wiser, she''s running the northern news operation of the Sunday Globe , chafing at losing her role in investigative journalism and at the descent into the gutter of the UK tabloid media. But there''s plenty to keep her occupied. The year begins with the memorial service to the victims of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, but Allie has barely filed her copy when she stumbles over a story about HIV/AIDS that will shock her into a major change of direction. The world of newspapers is undergoing a revolution, there''s skulduggery in the medical research labs and there are seismic rumblings behind the Iron Curtain. When kidnap and murder are added to this potent mix, Allie is forced to question all her old certainties.

Carmen is at a loose end. Her gorgeous bookshop is the filming site of a cheesy Christmas movie, she''s been ousted from her sister''s house, and the love of her life has just flown thousands of miles away. It''s threatening to be a very unjolly Christmas indeed!
But when the elderly owner of the shop comes to Carmen with a Christmas wish that threatens to never come true, Carmen knows she must buckle down to get the funds to save not only his trip, but the shop itself.
