"An epic filled with emotion and rich with atmosphere" (Historical Novel Society) from the author of The Other Eden. Khalidah faces an arranged marriage at the behest of her father, a Bedouin Clan chief. But when a mysterious stranger named Sulayman reveals the machinations behind her pending union, she suddenly finds herself a pawn in a deadly plot involving her own feuding tribe and the powerful Templar Knights. Faced with certain death, Khalidah runs away with Sulayman, a man she barely knows.

This book is a collection of art works by teenager Sarah Bryant. They are all done by hand, featuring a distinct monochrome-patterned style. The subject and inspiration of each drawing varies from elements in nature to a range of intricate self-created patterns that use an almost systematic rhythm and symmetry. The result is an intriguing and sometimes mesmerizing image with hidden layers of detail. Each piece has been completed in one session, often done in a relatively short period, but has many elements that give a sense of complex simplicity.

By its very nature digital crime may present a number of specific detection and investigative challenges. The use of steganography to hide child abuse images for example, can pose the kind of technical and legislative problems inconceivable just two decades ago. The volatile nature of much digital evidence can also pose problems, particularly in terms of the actions of the 'first officer on the scene'. There are also concerns over the depth of understanding that 'generic' police investigators may have concerning the possible value (or even existence) of digitally based evidence. Furthermore, although it is perhaps a cliché to claim that digital crime (and cybercrime in particular) respects ...
