Book Description
Arabella Holmes--yes, daughter of that Holmes--wants to return to her job as a purveyor of abnormal science. She has temporarily been demoted to a botanist, until her love interest, Henry Watson--yes, that Watson--can help her get her less-than-professional outbursts in check. Henry is tired of his new role as doctor, tired of the lack of adventure, and tired of keeping Bella's escapades out of the papers. Five girls are missing. Gone from locked rooms in their own houses. Arabella and Henry are called upon to help solve the kidnappings, but all they unearth is more danger. Bella ventures undercover into a lunatic asylum, where a mute woman assaults her and scrawls the chilling words—Here the dead wake. Plus, a vial of Bella's research poison has gone missing. Bella and Henry must find it, and the missing girls, before charges can be brought against her.

Book Description
Aspiring scientist Arabella Holmes doesn't fit the role of a 1900s lady. Her father, Sherlock, landed her a position at the Mütter Museum to pursue her dream of becoming a purveyor of abnormal science, or what her father calls a "Boneseeker." Henry Watson’s two-fold mission at the Mütter Museum is to join their team of forensic anthropologists in unearthing unusual antiquities and to watch over Arabella. If only he could get her to speak to him, instead of hurling knives in his general direction. Assigned to a most secret expedition to investigate a mysterious skeletal hand discovered in upstate New York, Arabella and Henry are soon caught in a scientific debate, and the search for the truth may have deadly consequences for those involved. Are the bones from a Neanderthal? Or are they living proof of fallen angels known as Nephilim? Watson and Holmes must put aside their differences, trust their instincts, and rely on one another to survive to uncover the truth. *This is a new version of a previously published edition

Just Ignore Him
Author: Alan Davies
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1408713292
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
'A simply astonishing achievement. The quality, depth, emotional power and terrifying honesty of Alan Davies's story-telling take the breath away' Stephen Fry 'This hugely affecting book is brave, insightful and, at times, funny about things it is hard to be funny about' Jo Brand The story of a life built on sand. In the rain. In this compelling memoir, comedian and actor Alan Davies recalls his boyhood with vivid insight and devastating humour. Shifting between his 1970s upbringing and his life today, Davies moves poignantly from innocence to experience to the clarity of hindsight, always with a keen sense of the absurd. From sibling dynamics, to his voiceless, misunderstood progression through school, sexuality and humiliating 'accidents', Davies inhabits his younger mind with spectacular accuracy, sharply evoking an era when Green Shield Stamps, Bob-a-Job week and Whizzer & Chips loomed large, a bus fare was 2p - and children had little power in the face of adult motivation. Here, there are often exquisitely tender recollections of the mother he lost at six years old, of a bereaved family struggling to find its way, and the kicks and confusion of adolescence. Through even the joyous and innocent memories, the pain of Davies's lifelong grief and profound betrayal is unfiltered, searing and beautifully articulated. Just Ignore Him is not only an autobiography, it is a testament to a survivor's resilience and courage. Featured on the BBC Two Between the Covers programme on 6 November 2020

The Starved Senses
Author: Charisse Goodman
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1608445860
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The Starved Senses is a powerful and disturbing story from a witness to the worst mass shooting in San Francisco's history: the 101 California Street Massacre. It follows three outsiders across two weeks in the summer of 1993: John, a struggling businessman with a long-simmering grudge; Rachel, a San Francisco legal assistant wandering in solitude; and Emmett, a bullied Bay Area teenager. Although they never meet, they are forever connected by a horrific act of violence, each one driven by an inner starvation and ultimately forced to choose between life and death. Are they failures? Are they insane? Or are they the products of a desperate, soul-consuming culture where meaningful human contact can seem like an impossible dream? In its exploration of the forces that disconnect people from one another, from themselves, and from life itself, The Starved Senses is an indictment of humanity's fatal flaw - the predatory desire for cruelty without consequences. Charisse Goodman is a graduate of California State University. A long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, she is also the author of the 1995 nonfiction book, The Invisible Woman: Confronting Weight Prejudice In America.
