 Bee Bones
A widower and his 15-year-old son travel through Britain in search of the only woman they have ever loved.
Fifteen-year-old Tillmann's mother, Kate, died when he was four. On the threshold of manhood, he has grown bored of the solitary existence with his father, Nairne, who is so absorbed in grief his life has come to a stand-still. Tillmann challenges Nairne to retrace Kate's life in the hope of putting an end to eleven years of apathy and self-pity. This is the beginning of a journey across Britain, and through the past, for father and son, which takes them from London to Cambridge to Yorkshire, and then, finally, to Scotland.
A sequence of events unfolds which makes Nairne question if anything Kate ever told him was the truth. Leaves him wondering if his entire life has been one big lie. When father and son reach their final destination, Nairne has to make a decision that could change his and Tillmann’s lives forever.

 Tettig's Jewels
An old time-traveller has lost his memory. He must find his way home, or all he loves will vanish, and he will be lost forever.
Summer in London. Any summer. Four murders in as many days. All redheads, all young, all female.
Four paintings disappear at the same time - Renoir; Delaroche; Waterhouse; Canaletto.
Only one man can solve these mysteries. Yet he, too, is a mystery. The old man Tettig, disappearing and reappearing.
Every time he travels through time, he loses his memory. He meets the ghost of the woman he has always loved, but he doesn't remember her. She is a victim, too; one of many littering history. Only she can set him the riddles that will guide him. She cannot give him any answers. Only if he solves these riddles and plays the game of death, will she live.
