Tropical islands, clear, clean water, white sand beaches ? images of tranquility. Yet, even there, bad things happen ? even murder. But investigations require a different touch in the islands and aren?t handled much like the way they are in bigger, louder, confusing places. Includes: Death of a Sandman, Sweet Death, and The Missing Skillet ~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~ The sand was packed down harder where the gentle waves of the Caribbean Sea rose up and relentlessly pounded it, compacting it. It was cooler to walk on, soothing on the feet after the blistering white sand down to the water. Johnny Cliff stared out to sea, at the unusual heavy fog that lingered for the second day. "It's enough to make you think it's an omen," the tall man next to him said. "So England must be a place of constant omens," Johnny laughed. "You certainly get fog there all the time." "Not the fog, just the combination of things today. You tell me the morning fog is unusual, yet there it is, and here we also have a dead body. A man is found lying dead on the beach and appears to have been murdered. You told me that murder is uncommon here on the beautiful isle of Kayakoo. That's quite a coincidence." "First you say it's an omen, now it's a coincidence. All that Scotland Yard attitude of hurrying from one idea to the next doesn't let a man digest any possibility completely. You gonna tire my brain out before lunch, Ralph." Ralph chuckled. "Well, since I'm on vacation and you are the investigating officer that's the way things ought to be, you being the one getting worn out." Johnny nodded at the spot up the beach where a small crowd had gathered to watch Doctor Mitchell examine the body. A constable stood with his hands behind his back looking official. "Well let's go see if maybe the doctor can tell us something about this Sweet death." "Sweet death?" "The dead man's name is Sweet. I imagine he has a first name, but I'll be damned if I recall anyone using it. He's a boat builder. Or was. I can't see him building any more. And now I gotta get to work, find out if he got done in by an omen or a coincidence." "You might want to focus on who did him in, rather than what." "If it was a someone." Ralph's puzzled look made Johnny smile. "I telling you, when there is a murder on the island it's usually pretty plain what happened." "The view I had of the body seemed plain enough. Let's go see if the doctor has an opinion." "You just wanting to chat with our fine-looking doctor again." Ralph looked embarrassed. Johnny loved digging into his British reserve. It offered him scant protection. "I won't say that I'd object to talking with her more."

'It's a joy to island-hop through the book. After wowing the world with Sixty Degrees North, Tallack's second book is shaped by the same, clear, sharp prose and keen curiosity. Packed full of intelligent musings on everything from religion to astronomy, alchemy to the occult' - National Geographic Traveller 'This has been a vintage year for books about cartography: Malachy Tallack gave us The Un-Discovered Islands - a swashbuckling romp through 20 islands of the imagination, some of which featured on sea charts for centuries before being proven not to exist' - Scotland on Sunday 'Malachy Tallack is an engaging and fluent writer of essential kindliness' - John MacLeod, Scottish Review of Books 'Tallack teases all this out with great wit and subtlety' - Scotsman 'This is a splendid and wistful book' - Stuart Kelly, Spectator 'One of the best new travel books' - Guardian 'This is a book to cherish and to dip in and out of when time allows' - Lovereading In this new edition, beautifully illustrated with original full-colour maps, are two dozen islands once believed to be real but no longer found on modern maps. These phantom islands are the product of imagination, deception and human error: an archipelago of ex-isles and forgotten lands. From the well-known story of Atlantis to more obscure tales from around the globe, from ancient history right up to the present day, this is an atlas of legend and wonder.

"All the seashore is lined with numbers of stone idols, with their backs turned towards the sea, which caused us no little wonder, because we saw no tool of any kind for working these figures." So wrote, a century and a half ago, one of the earliest navigators to visit the Island of Easter in the South-east Pacific. Ever since that day passing ships have found it incomprehensible that a few hundred natives should have been able to make, move, and erect numbers of great stone monuments, some of which are over thirty feet in height; they have marvelled and passed on. As the world's traffic has increased Easter Island has still stood outside its routes, quiet and remote, with its story undeciphered. What were these statues of which the present inhabitants know nothing?... Whence came the people who reached this remote spot? Did they arrive from South America, 2,000 miles to the eastward? Or did they sail against the prevailing wind from the distant islands to the west?...

Excerpt from Islands and Their Mysteries Or is the island what the geologists call con structional, a gain rather than a relic, something on the plus Side And if so, is it part of a sub marine mountain chain that has been raised above the surface of the water, or is it the top of a submarine volcano, or is it a coral growth on the shoulders of either of these, or is it a deposit at a river mouth The destructional islands are mostly isolated parts of continents; the constructional islands are mostly children of the sea. Hence the old classification into continental and oceanic islands. Then, having settled the question of origin, we face that of history. For the island may become smaller and smaller as the weathering outruns any increase, or larger and larger as growth outruns erosion. Islands wax and wane; they appear and disappear. They have a life history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

They are not alone... Nevada Barr's nineteenth Anna Pigeon mystery, Boar Island, is a gripping novel that transports you to the wild and dangerous landscape of Acadia National Park. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo and Paul Doiron. 'Gripping... harrowing... a moving, suspenseful, fast-paced novel... shimmering with vibrant life and originality' - Cleveland Plain Dealer Anna Pigeon, in her career as a National Park Service Ranger, has had to deal with all manner of crimes and misdemeanours, but cyber-bulling and stalking is a new one. The target is Elizabeth, the adopted teenage daughter of her friend Heath Jarrod. Elizabeth is driven to despair by the disgusting rumours spreading online and bullying texts. Until, one day, Heath finds her daughter Elizabeth in the midst of an unsuccessful suicide attempt. And then she calls in the cavalry - her aunt Gwen and her friend Anna Pigeon. The three adults decide the best thing to do is to remove Elizabeth from the situation and, since Anna is about to start her new post as Acting Chief Ranger at Acadia National Park in Maine, they join her and stay at a house on the cliff of a small island near the park, Boar Island. But the move doesn't solve the problem. The stalker has followed them. And Heath (a paraplegic) and Elizabeth aren't alone on the otherwise deserted island. At the same time, Anna has barely arrived at Acadia before a brutal murder is committed by a killer uncomfortably close to her... What readers are saying about Boar Island: 'Ms. Barr's amazing writing and character development sucked me in and I went on the most amazing adventure' 'An exciting, twisting novel' '[I] excitedly anticipated the next page. I couldn't put Boar Island down'

This fast-paced novel is a fun, frivolous read about a quintessentially American girl, Daisy Donovan, whose chief aim in life is to become a queen. Through a series of far-fetched coincidences and circumstances, her hopes come to pass, and Daisy is enthroned as the ruler of a tiny, out-of-the-way island community called Megalia. But before long, the queen finds herself at the center of an international crisis. Will she emerge unscathed and continue her reign?
