How far would you go to right a wrong? ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is a spooky adventure story for younger readers involving a two-century-old family mystery and the haunting of Dunmore Park, a ruined house in central Scotland.

This distant view of the ruins of Dunmore Park shows the sheer size of the house - and over half the remaining chimneys that give 'The House With 46 Chimneys' its title.

The image shows a distant telephoto view of the ruins of Dunmore Park. They are partly obscured by trees, which are growing to the sides and on top of the ruined house. Large numbers of decorative chimneys and a few narrow turrets project from the upper part of the ruins. The front cover of ‘The House With 46 Chimneys’ is shown in the bottom right corner.

The siege is over but the war goes on. Ken Lussey’s new novel ‘The Eye of Horus’ is an atmospheric World War Two thriller with settings that move from the Highlands of Scotland via Gibraltar to Malta.

This modern photograph shows part of Manoel Island in Malta’s Marsamxett Harbour. During the war it was used as a base by the Royal Navy's 10th Submarine Flotilla and the island is visited several times by the book’s central characters.

On the quayside are long three-storey stone buildings, fenced off and partly scaffolded. The blue water of the harbour is in the foreground and on the right and Valletta can be seen stretching across the centre of the frame in the distance. The sky is blue.

How many deaths to end a war? ‘Eyes Turned Skywards’ is a fast-paced thriller set mainly in northern Scotland during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.
