Meet Knightley and Son - two great detectives for the price of one . . . Darkus Knightley is not your average thirteen-year-old: ferociously logical, super-smart and with a fondness for tweed, detective work is in his blood.

Darkus is determined to follow in his father's footsteps and find out what really happened. But when Alan suddenly wakes up, his memory is wonky and he needs help. The game is afoot for Knightley & Son - with a mystery that gets weirder by the minute, a bestselling book that makes its readers commit terrible crimes, and a sinister organisation known as the Combination . . . A funny, warm, fantastical crime caper with an unlikely hero and a brilliant comic cast, perfect for fans of Sherlock and criminally good storytelling.

The studies in this volume offer the first serious examination of Sir Edwin Lutyens's hugely significant work beyond Great Britain. With the exception of New Delhi, far less attention has been paid to Lutyens's work abroad than to his work at home. Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) made his name by designing romantic vernacular weekend houses at home in southern England: however, he also responded to opportunities offered by Britain's Imperial ambitions abroad. The studies in this volume offer the first serious examination of Sir Edwin Lutyens's hugely significant work beyond Great Britain. With the exception of New Delhi, far less attention has been paid to Lutyens's work abroad than to his work at home - some buildings, indeed, being almost unknown - although it is arguable that his finest creations, works of transcendent humanity and originality within the Western tradition, are to be found along the former battlefields of the Western Front and the hot plains of India.
