From award-winning novelist Huw Thomas, a story of hidden secrets, childhood drama and murder... THE VAULT Adam Strong has two main problems in life: how to keep the gang from the local council estate out of the woods where he has his den and how to get the new girl at school to notice that he exists. But the ancient woods next to Compton Fosse contain more dangers than just the risk of a beating from the town's teenage psycho. Hidden in Hobthrush Wood is the key to a mystery that weaves four disparate stories into a single web. * The mansion: A gang of professional robbers mount a night raid on the secluded country home of a reclusive billionaire. * The dead: Three decaying bodies, wrapped in plastic and chains, are found lying at the bottom of an ornamental lake. * The convict: A sex offender is released from prison but breaks his parole and goes on the run after giving into temptation once again. * The friends: Two boys stumble across an eerie secret...

Most modern cats are addicted to a substance that can eventually destroy every major organ of the feline body: grain-dominant cat food. This addiction can adversely affect blood sugar, urine pH, adrenal stability, digestive function, and tooth, gum and joint health, and can be a major contributor to spiraling vet bills. For six-plus decades, commercial grain-based cat food has been pushed upon the public for one main reason: corporate profit. Regrettably, it isn't just cats who are addicted; advertising has brainwashed humans into believing that feeding our obligate carnivore companions a meat-flavored, grain-based diet is the best way to show how much we care. The authors of this brief, straight-to-the-point cookbook wanted to break free and spend as many years as they could with their beloved housemates - quality time, not time spent watching them decline from commercial cat food. Now, with this step-by-step illustrated guide, you and your cat can break free, too.
