Pet, Davey, and Mike are back in modern Scotland after a frightening byut exhilarating year out of time in twelth century. The survival skills they fought so hard to acquire in the distant past are as inappropriate for them in the present as hand-to-hand battle tactics are for soldiers returning to civilian life.
Mike's father, a retired special forces major, at first tries to deprogram the boys, but Pete begins to feel that his destiny is tied to the past and that he, at least, must go back.Pete has the added complication of being the subject of a custody battle between his parents who are the process of divorce. His father's sister is constantly in a state of war with Pete, thinking he should still be the innocent little boy he was a year ago when the group vanished from the island and thrown back in time to the brutal days of Braveheart.The decision to go back or to stay seems to be Pete's.

The body of a naked young boy hanging in a dusty barn stirs sickening feelings of déjà vu in the detective. As he unravels each knot in the tangled cord of his investigation, dedicated cop, Martin Nicols uncovers a murderous thread ... and police prejudices which may have allowed previous killings to happen ... not to mention his own guilt!
Alistair Kinnon has written much more than a tense, psychological crime novel - his twisting plot takes the reader into the murky world of child sex-for-sale … the parent’s darkest nightmare and the child’s greatest threat.
IMG src="http://www.bewrite.net/merchant2/graphics/00000001/cord_full.gif"> | |  | | The Tangled Skein (Alistair Kinnon)
The loose ends of murder take crusading cop Martin Nicols thousands of miles from his home beat … and into a steaming hotbed of child vice, inhuman torture and death.
But this time Nicols struggles against more than evil puppetmasters with ultimate power over their helpless young victims … he must also contend with hostile and jealous colleagues and infuriating red tape that threatens to hog tie his investigation and let the guilty get away with murder.
Unlike lesser crime writers, Kinnon does not insult us by scattering red herrings as he tears through his story. Every lead matters. All the intelligent reader must do is to decide how much.
Just like in a real murder hunt, the solid evidence unfolding page by page points in more directions than a weather vane in a gale. It isn't wise to attempt to outguess Kinnon - but it's fruitless to try to resist the temptation as you're drawn into his book as a silent character!

Kevin, the victim of a bully at school, is only too glad to go to Scotland with his mother for the summer vacation. There he finds an ancient drum that takes him back to an ancient time where he finds out there are more than one kind of bully. Can the lessons in self-confidence and self-respect Kevin learns in the past be carried back and applied in his own time?
Whilst on vacation in his family's home country of Scotland, Kevin strays into a mysterious room at the back of a dusty antique shop where he discovers an ancient hand drum dating back to the thirteenth century.
When he beats the battered old instrument,the teenager is transported back in time, where he finds himself marooned in an era of inhuman cruelty his school history books had never come near to describing.
With only his drum and a donkey called Sarah for company, he sets out to dodge death and torture until he is made the slave of an arrogant young aristocrat -- but he finds a | |  | | To Read the Bones
