HARPER/COLLINS

A chance encounter with an old flame sets reluctant investigator Thorn on a collision course with some of Florida's most ruthless killers in a heart-stopping story of modern-day piracy from the acclaimed author of Blackwater Sound, hailed by Dennis Lehane as 'the king of Florida noir'. Anne Joy first fled to the Sunshine State to escape a violent past. Now, years later, she slips back into bad company when she gets entangled with Daniel Salbone, a rising figure in the local mob whose men have been terrorising shipping lanes. When Thorn's old connection with Anne comes to light, he is desperate not to be dragged into dangerous waters. But the kidnapping of his best friend's daughter forces him to embark on a hunt that will take him from the deceptive lushness of the Florida Keys to a nightmare climax in one of the most remote and blood-chilling spots in the Caribbean.

James Hall's book explores the language of symbols in art. He shows us how familiar, everyday objects in paintings, drawings and sculpture often carry a deeper layer of meaning. Interpreting this language is a fascinating study. The author's work, "Dictionary of Subjects and Symbols in Art", deals with the symbolism of Christian and classical art. Here, the horizons are wider. He now includes the art of ancient Egypt and the Near and Far East whose civilizations employed a great variety of art forms that expressed many shades of meaning, from simple, everyday hopes and fears to the profoundest philosophical and religious aspirations. Each had its own, clearly distinguished language of symbols. This book provides their keys, comparing and contrasting one with another. An essential feature of the book is its illustrations. There are over 600, each one carefully chosen so that it throws light on a less familiar aspect of a (usually) familiar object. Chris Puleston, the artist who made these drawings, is a follower of Hinduism and has a wide knowledge of Hindu and Buddhist art. There are numbered references, throughout the text, to the sacred literature, myths and legends in which the symbols had their origin. Details of English translations of these works will be found in the Bibliography.

When James Hall was working in Africa with legendary singer Miriam Makeba, she perceived he had the rare gift to see both into the future & into people's souls. She urged Hall to consult a Sangoma, a traditional healer, who told him he was possessed by ancestral spirits who could give him the power to heal others & to become a Sangoma himself. He underwent a 2-year initiation into the mysteries of psychic possession & traditional healing. He also learned how to read meanings & messages in his set of divination bones, & began his education in the collection & preparation of plants & roots used as traditional medicines. Photos.
