He grew up in a turbulent household – where famous Beat poets, artists and addicts came and went – and his steadiest companions were pets. Since then he had many feline companions, with relationships that have outlasted most of his human ones. But only after building a three-story home in rural, upstate New York did he encounter someone extraordinary: Masha, a Siberian Forest cat who had been abandoned as a kitten and was languishing in a shelter. She had hissed and fought off all previous carers and potential adopters, but somehow, she chose him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the seventeen years that followed, Caleb and Masha were inseparable. Masha ruled the house and the dangerous wilderness surrounding it. When she was hurt, only Caleb could help her. When he suffered long-standing physical ailments, Masha knew what to do.

A young child, the daughter of Spanish diplomats, disappears.  It seems she has been abducted but no ransom note is received and the detectives Isaacson quickly discover that a nurse, Elspeth Hunter, is probably the kidnapper.  They also discover that Hunter has been a little too closely connected with the death of three other infants.  But what are her motives?  She married a fortune, and although she is connected to some fairly rough villains this crime does not fit their modus operandi.  Is it something as 'simple' as psychological disturbance due to her own inability to bear children, or something more sinister unguessed at?","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294660145525,"sku":"9780751547276","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780751547276_cbf153fd-297c-484a-b266-02d9692bcbbd.jpg?v=1786015258"},{"product_id":"9780751574173","title":"The Alienist","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003einternationally bestselling \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ehistorical thriller, now a major Netflix series starring Luke Evans, Dakota Fanning and \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Brühl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome things never change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew York City, 1896.
