Solstice of Death

release date: Dec 07, 2021
Solstice of Death
A dazzling dawn breaks over the Stonehenge midwinter solstice, where the assembled new-age revellers are horrified to discover a green-painted human hand dangling from beneath a mound of snow, high on one of the stone lintels. Leading the investigation into this peculiar death is DI Shanti Joyce and her partner, Vincent Caine. To Shanti''s chagrin the pair have become known as ''the go-to team for weird stuff in the West Country'' and this festive fatality is the mother and Father Christmas of odd and ritualistic crimes. Amidst the swirling flurries of Salisbury Plain, the unlikely duo discover that the deceased is none other than Hector Lovell-Finch, the eccentric Earl of Lovell Court, known to all as ''Finch'' - and who also happens to be the father of the notoriously right-wing MP, Quentin Lovell-Finch. It is no secret that relations between father and son have become decidedly frosty since Finch''s acrimonious divorce from Quentin''s mother, his conversion to environmentalism, and second marriage to an indigenous Brazilian environmentalist half his age. Now there is the icy issue of who will inherit the ancient Lovell-Finch Estate. To make things more complicated, single mum Shanti has faithfully promised her son, Paul a magical Christmas with all the trimmings. Can this most knotty of English murders be untwined in just five days? And will the unlikely detective duo celebrate the season with merriment, mindfulness and mistletoe? Praise for Solstice of Death ''Quirky, engrossing and can be devoured at any time'' Devon Life Praise for Laurence Anholt ''A super start to the series'' Frances Brody ''An entertaining murder mystery . . . witty'' L C Tyler ''This quirky, fast-paced crime mystery is magically entertaining'' Dundee Courier ''Quirky, compelling and thoroughly enjoyable'' Kate Ellis

Camille y los girasoles

release date: Jan 01, 1994
Camille y los girasoles
Camille y los Girasoles, libro ilustrado a todo color por el propio autor, está basado en un episodio real de la vida del genial pintor Vincent Van Gogh. Algunas de las ilustraciones de este volumen -especialmente dirigido a niños que aman el arte o que disfrutan con una bonita historia- son reproducciones de las obras de este artista holandés. Camille y los Girasoles narra la amistad entre un pintor que nunca conoció la fama y un niño, Camille, al que el artista le demuestra cariño y agradecimiento retratándolo junto a toda su familia. Al lado de estos retratos, aparece el cuadro de los famosos girasoles, las flores que Camille le regaló al pintor, y que supuso una de las catorce obras pictóricas más importantes de la historia. Gracias a ella, y solo después de su muerte, el rechazo a Vincent Van Gogh -que durante su vida sólo vendió un cuadro y fue a su hermano- se convirtió en verdadera admiración.
