Kit and Nita join forces once more against the terrible Lone Power on an unusual battleground, as they fight for the heart and mind of a young wizard with the power to save their world… Initially, Kit finds himself flying solo as Nita has sunk into a deep depression after the events of The Wizard's Dilemma. Luckily, Kit's telepathic pooch, Ponch, is happy to fill Nita's niche temporarily, as long as enough dog biscuits are involved. Kit's fighting to understand why autistic wizard-in-training Darryl McAllister has been stuck in his wizardly Ordeal for over three months. Is it merely the fault of his autism? Exploring inside Darryl's mind, Kit and Ponch discover complex landscapes of weird beauty that belie Darryl's rocking, vacant exterior. But they also find the Lone Power, attacking Darryl with a relentless brutality that seems to make little sense. What makes Darryl so important — and why can't he escape his Ordeal? Nita, meanwhile, is distracted from her sorrow by a series of strange dreams in which some mysterious being pleads desperately for her aid. What do the cryptic messages mean? She has to find out quickly — because now Kit, too, has vanished. Can she find him — and if she does, will the two of them be able to come together in time to deal with the Lone Power before It can destroy them? Views: 31

The new DCI Neil Paget mystery - When DCI Neil Paget and DS Tregalles investigate an apparently standard missing person case, it soon emerges that Mark Newman, an aspiring journalist, was on the trail of a hot story, and now hes disappeared, along with every scrap of potential evidence . . . But as bodies start to pile up, Paget is struggling to keep his mind on the job, given the erratic behaviour and unexplained absences of his new live-in lover . . .From Publishers WeeklyDCI Neil Paget investigates a missing-persons case in this workmanlike entry in Smith's police procedural series (Acts of Vengeance, etc.). Mark Newman, a jack-of-all-trades who aspires to be a journalist, vanishes after a covert meeting in a generic English pub about a potential story. When Paget learns that Newman's informant, Mickey Doyle, has also disappeared, he concludes that someone attempting to conceal the secret that Doyle stumbled onto has killed them both. Paget's team's efforts soon come closer to the truth than the National Criminal Intelligence Service would like, triggering a jurisdictional dispute that threatens to prevent justice for the missing men. A prologue detailing Newman's failed surveillance of a secluded farmhouse leaves little suspense about his fate. In addition, instead of Paget's uncovering the story Newman was pursuing, an NCIS official simply recounts it to him late in the book.

From BooklistThe latest entry in Smith’s excellent Neil Paget series injects the British police procedural with a real jolt of energy. This time Paget and his team investigate the mysterious disappearance of local handyman and wannabe journalist Mark Newman. When his housemate reports Newman missing, Paget is inclined simply to file a perfunctory “mis-per” report, but when Newman's van is discovered at the bottom of a quarry, and another local man, apparently the last person Newman spoke to before he disappeared, is found dead, Paget knows he has a real case on his hands. After multiple dead ends have been steered around, and just as the case seems about to break wide open, Paget and his team are summarily told to drop their investigation, setting up some genuinely surprising plot twists. In Smith’s talented hands, the procedural formula extends well beyond meticulous description of police work to embrace the kind of plotting pyrotechnics that distinguishes high-concept thrillers. Procedural buffs will find plenty of detail here to please them, but those who enjoy a little Ridley Pearson pizzazz will also be satisfied. --Emily Melton Views: 31
