IMMORTAL
CRAWFORD, DEAN
In the spine-chilling tradition of Michael Crichton and James Rollins, the second Ethan Warner thriller is an
action-packed blockbuster that combines science, suspense, and ingenious speculation.County coroner Lillian
Cruz makes a surprising discovery while carrying out an autopsy on a body recently brought into the local Santa
Fe morgue. Lodged in the dead man's thigh bone is a bullet, which carbon dating proves was fired during the
Civil War. But before she can notify the authorities, Cruz disappears. The Defense Intelligence Agency calls in
former war correspondent Ethan Warner and his partner, Nicola Lopez, to discreetly investigate the
disappearance. And very quickly, a relatively simple case turns into something much more sinister. With each
new lead they uncover, Warner and Lopez are inadvertently bringing a warped and dangerous individual closer
to achieving a catastrophic goal: immortality. High-concept, fast-paced, and masterfully executed, Immortal
confirms Dean Crawford as a brilliantly ambitious new thriller writer.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SEVEN
SMITH, ALEXANDER MCCALL
Despite inhabiting a great city renowned for its impeccable restraint, the extended family of 44 Scotland Street is
trembling on the brink of reckless self-indulgence. Matthew and Elspeth receive startling - and expensive - news
on a visit to the Infirmary, Angus and Domenica are contemplating an Italian ménage a trois, and even Big Lou is
overheard discussing cosmetic surgery. But when Bertie Pollock - 6 years old and impatient to be 7 - mislays his
meddling mother, Irene, one afternoon, a valuable lesson is learned: that wish-fulfilment is a dangerous
business. Warm-hearted, wise and very funny, The Importance of Being Seven brings us a fresh and delightful
set of insights into philosophy and fraternity among Edinburgh's most loveable residents.
