Salati Case cover

'Castagnetti is hired to prove that Riccardo Salati, a man missing for fourteen years, is in fact dead so that the estate of Salati’s recently deceased mother can be disposed of. Unwilling to take the easy option and simply have Salati declared dead, Castagnetti determines to find out the truth behind the missing man and manages to penetrate the supposedly respectable façade of small town Italy, exposing scandals and secrets along the way.'

Dracula cover

"How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams", said Dublin born writer Bram Stoker whose novel, Dracula, has never been out of print since it was first published in 1897. It's often asserted that there are more writers per square inch of land here in Ireland than anywhere else in the world. Whether it's true or not, it certainly feels like it and I think it's a cause for celebration.

We're Mad About...Fighting Ruben Wolfe

Conspiracy 365 January cover

Cam and Ruben are best friends; they are also the Wolfe brothers. ..When a schoolyard brawl breaks out, a witness makes Ruben an offer to earn some money from fighting in the ring. Ruben agrees on one condition: that Cam gets to fight alongside. Ruben can fight but Cam is the one with heart. The fight becomes about pride and self-worth, about something more than letting life kick you when you’re down. You have to grow up and discover who you really are.
