Nine Against the Unknown is the story of nine great explorers; passionately written, the biographies are fascinating and revealing, the journeys dramatic and breathtaking.

A firebomb attack at a Plummer property thrusts Innes into the spotlight as he saves a child from the burning building. But when Plummer enlists his help to track down the arsonists, Innes finds himself dealing with more than the ENS and his rapidly overwhelming codeine addiction. Manchester needs a hero and Callum Innes is the closest it has.

Limited to only 1,200 copies, this beautifully crafted book contains two-colour illustrations throughout and comes in a sumptuous hardback slip case taking McCall Smith’s best-selling novel to new heights of reading.

Numbered and signed by both the author and illustrator.

Northern Lights presents George Mackay Brown’s writings on many of the places, people, legends and seasons that formed his vision and work.

This collection, written with irony and great tenderness, confirmed James Kelman’s status as one of the most significant writers in the UK, and remains as powerful, relevant and truthful as it was in the early 1980s.
