Storyline: Grey has a lot to prove and even more to hide. Obsessed with a past she cannot understand, she comes to Tokyo seeking a rare piece of film footage that has been lost for decades. Showing a specific incident, it was taken during the notorious Nanking Massacre in 1937. Some say the film never existed. Only one man on Earth can help Grey. A survivor of the massacre, he is now a visiting professor at the prestigious university of Todai in Tokyo. Immersed in his textbooks and wary of strangers, he will at first have nothing to do with her. Increasingly desperate in an alien city where she knows no-one, Grey accepts a job as an hostess in an upmarket nightspot catering for Japanese businessmen and wealthy gangsters. One gangster dominates. An old man in an wheelchair guarded by a terrifying entourage, he is rumoured to rely on a powerful elixir for his continued health. It is an elixir that others want for themselves at any cost. With its state-of-the-art skyscrapers and clubs where, night after night, hostesses entertain their wealthy male clientele, Tokyo is both a city of dark secrets where terror beckons, and a literary thriller of the highest order |

Storyline: Journalist Joe Oakes makes a living exposing supernatural hoaxes. A born sceptic, he believes everything has a rational explanation. But when he visits a secretive religious community on a remote Scottish Island, everything he thought he knew is overturned. Questions mount: Why has the community been accused of Satanism? What has happened to their leader, Pastor Malachi Dove? And, perhaps most important, why will no-one discuss the strange apparition seen wandering the lonely beaches of Pig Island? Their confrontation, and its violent and bloody aftermath, is so catastrophic that it forces Oaksey to question the nature of evil, and whether he might not be responsible for the terrible crime about to unfold |
