As Sol masters flight and makes his first migration, he learns many members of the Great Flock - birds all over the world – are suffering from terrible catastrophes. The ancient wisdom, “adapt or die”, is no longer enough, and Sol leads the hunt for a way to save birdkind from extinction.

Jane Austen's Emma has been described as a detective story without a body - except for those who read carefully, there actually is a body, and the potential for an excellent mystery story. Set about a year after Emma closes, The Highbury Murders pays homage to the wit of Jane Austen and the whodunits of Agatha Christie. You do not need to have read Jane Austen's books to enjoy this novel, but if you have - if you regret that she wrote only six - The Highbury Murders is a welcome extension to her world.
