Library Cat
For the last year, Library Cat - the resident cat of Edinburgh University Library - has been watching. As a Human, you may not feel that watching is a particularly extraordinary thing for a cat to do. But Library Cat is different. Because not only was Library Cat watching, he was also thinking. Library Cat is a thinking cat. Thinking cats are rare. Look closely, though, and maybe you'll spot one...The canny glint to the eye? The arched, disdainful whiskers? The unrelenting interest in books and piles of paper? That's a thinking cat! This is a story about Library Cat, about his favourite turquoise chair in the library and his favourite food (bacon-rind). But, more importantly, this is a story about Library Cat's thoughts and his own search for completeness in this fractured world. And it's about us Humans, too. You see, with his black and white head bobbing a foot off the ground, Library Cat has seen us Humans from a very different angle...and he's seen it all; from shame to sandwiches, from litter to love, from aeroplanes to Lord Byron. And he has some news: he thinks us Humans have it all wrong. And he's going to show us why.

Isle of Chaos
Grab your cutlass and prepare for an exhilarating adventure on the Isle of Chaos, where six lives intertwine in the quest for money, power, and revenge. Ambitious yet impoverished Isaac Carver has been hunting Captain Kidd’s legendary buried treasure ever since he was cruelly abandoned as a young boy. With only two locations left to search, he’s determined to escape his pitiful past and live a life he’s only ever dreamed of. But little does Isaac know that his actions will be the catalyst in a devastating chain of events leading to an all-out war for control of the island. Crossing paths with Crow, a quirky yet feared pirate captain who’ll do anything to avoid a mutiny; Joy, a fiery bounty hunter and loving sister on a mission to right wrongs; Popino, a sex-addicted widower and desperate, anguished father; Molly, a vengeful apothecary intent on inciting war; and Jane, a sharp-witted mercenary boss, Isaac soon realises everyone has something to hide and few can be trusted. Can Isaac overcome his past and survive long enough to complete his quest – or will clashing ambitions lead to his demise?

The Library of the Dead
'A fast-moving and entertaining tale, beautifully written' - Ben Aaronovitch When ghosts talk, she will listen . . . Ropa dropped out of school to become a ghost talker - and she now speaks to Edinburgh's dead, carrying messages to the living. A girl's gotta earn a living, and it seems harmless enough. Until, that is, the dead whisper that someone's bewitching children - leaving them husks, empty of joy and life. It's on Ropa's patch, so she feels honour-bound to investigate. But what she learns will change her world. She'll dice with death (not part of her life plan . . .) as she calls on Zimbabwean magic and Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues. For Edinburgh hides a wealth of secrets. And in the process, she discovers an occult library and some unexpected allies. Yet as shadows lengthen, will the hunter become the hunted? Opening up a world of magic and adventure, The Library of the Dead by T. L. Huchu is the first book in the Edinburgh Nights series.
