To alleviate a typical bout of boredom, Dorian decides to have his appendix removed - again - and checks himself into a very nice private hospital.

The Bright Young Things of the city are living life to the full, when a series of unusual murders strikes the capital.

Banshee by Xanna Eve ChownCounty Meath, 1900. After one Dorian's friends acquires a house on the Emerald Isle, Dorian travels with him to Ireland to inspect the estate.

When a mission to finally see the Northern Lights turns sour, Dorian finds himself stranded in the middle of nowhere. It is only after the kindness of one of the locals that he is rescued, and learns that there may be more to the local legends than meets the eye.8. The Living Image by Matt FittonEngland, 1949.
