Norris has been here before. He knows he's lived eight other lives and what's more, he can remember them all. He's not proud of them, especially not the one when he left his pal, Jimmy Morgan, at the mercy of German soldiers in the second world war. The discovery that he's been reincarnated as a cat isn't going to help his resolution to make amends to his old friend when he finds himself, by a strange quirk of fate, adopted from an animal rescue centre by Jimmy Morgan's grand-daughter. Once settled into Jimmy's home, Norris realises that all is not well in the old man's life and he's got himself involved in criminal activity at the behest of his late wife's family who are blackmailing Jimmy because they know he's in debt. When Norris discovers all this, he knows the only way he can apologise to Jimmy for letting him down in the past, is to try to help him in the present. But how exactly can he do this when he's a cat and when Jimmy's small time criminal activities place his grand-daughter, Stella, in danger? Dawn Treacher's speculative fiction tale explores the possibility that your cat really is cleverer than you in a tale of magical realism that'll make you wonder exactly what your cat is thinking!

Matthew Hartmann is a detective, and a Christian. With a wife, a beautiful daughter, whom they both dote up, his career, his belief, he seems to have everything until he is prevented from investigating a series of deaths and he stumbles upon old, dark secrets that lurk within the town he has been brought up in. Suddenly, places and people he has known all his life take on a sinister appearance and the emergence of evil forces becomes apparent to the young detective. When his wife and his child are killed in what seems to have been an accident, Matthew turns to Father Hector, the old Catholic priest who brought Matthew up as almost the closest thing to a son he would have and together, they realise that satanism and unholy cults threaten the very existence of not just Matthew's town, but the Christian kingdom and the wider world. When he is dragged into the fight between good and evil, Matthew not only believes he has God on his side, but also, the Sinner's Redemption, but will it be enough to save humanity? Matthew Decker's debut novel came to him in the form of a dream which he dreamt repeatedly until he decided to start writing it down and this dark and horrifying tale is the result. Fans of tense, good versus evil horror stories will devour this book just as evil and satanic cults are capable of devouring mankind.
