"I'm Sam Trowel-twelve-year-old master of disguise, spy, and Sudoku genius. Oh yes, I also work for MI6. Well, when I say work, it's more like a voluntary post, really. Cutbacks and overseas commitments mean that the government have no money left to spy on its own citizens. And that's why the Special Patrol Youth (or SPY for short) was founded-a government initiative to give kids a purpose in society whilst also reducing crime. But as it's so top secret, I'm not allowed to talk about my life. If I did, you'd have to undergo mind-altering experiments to make you forget, and they can be pretty nasty. I've heard what happens to others after they've been altered-they're never the same again."Pensioners are revolting! When a surprising syndicate of old-aged pensioners begin flooding the market with fake banknotes there's only one twelve-year-old who can stop them-SAM TROWEL, MI6's newest recruit.Also by Tim FlanaganRead the complete Moon Stealer series: The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough (Book 1) The Moon Stealers and the Queen of the Underworld (Book 2) The Moon Stealers and the Everlasting Night (Book 3) The Moon Stealers and the Children of the Light (Book 4)The Moon Stealers Box Set (Books 1-4)Lawrence Pinkley Mysteries - Winner of the Coffee Reader's Book Award 2015The Curious Disappearance of Professor BrownThe Mystery of Van Gogh's Missing HeartLawrence Pinkley's Casebook.

"Where can you go if you're.... different?"In London lies an underground ghost station-empty and unused. Trains don't stop there any more, but if you look closely on the tunnel walls, you might just spot a grime covered sign for Brompton Road Station. Tucked away from the hustle of London streets, the station holds a secret-a government training facility for those select few who are... unusual. After eighteen years the "Wickes, Wakefield and Lynch Institute for the Gifted" has started recruiting once again!From an early age, Louis Edwards realized that society couldn't accept what it was unable to explain. And no one could explain what Louis was able to do. Forced to hide his gift from others Louis successfully manages to lead an introverted life until the day he finds an unusual metal puzzle - the key to a training facility for people just like him.REVIEWS"It was really well written and had such rich detail that made the book shine and come to life .... an amazing jigsaw that slowly comes together."

NOT ALL EIGHTEEN YEAR OLDS WANT TO BE A DETECTIVE...ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE !Pinkleys skills are called into play once again in another case in his reluctant career. Teenager Lawrence Pinkley unwillingly inherits his father's Private Detective Agency on the cold north east coast of England. Despite not knowing the first thing about solving crimes, except from what he's been able to pick up by reading Sherlock Holmes books and watching endless reruns of Columbo, his reputation as a successful Private Investigator is growing.But, when Hollywood comes to town, Pinkley stumbles into the path of the dangerously disturbed Doctor Ubel who could quickly put an end to Pinkley's short career, as well as his life. Meanwhile, Pinkley is employed to find a painting by Van Gogh that has mysteriously disappeared from a locked safe that appears totally impregnable. Pinkley must use all his cunning and limited intellect to find the painting whilst out foxing Doctor Ubel.Packed with surreal and laugh-out-loud moments, The Mystery of Van Gogh's Missing Heart is a hilarious crime novel that appeals to anyone from 8 to 80 (or, come to think of it, you might even like it if you're 100 years old!)Also by Tim FlanaganRead the complete Moon Stealer series: The Moon Stealers and the Quest for the Silver Bough (Book 1) The Moon Stealers and the Queen of the Underworld (Book 2) The Moon Stealers and the Everlasting Night (Book 3) The Moon Stealers and the Children of the Light (Book 4)The Moon Stealers Box Set (Books 1-4)Lawrence Pinkley Mysteries - Winner of the Coffee Reader's Book Award 2015The Curious Disappearance of Professor BrownThe Mystery of Van Gogh's Missing HeartLawrence Pinkley's Casebook. Vol. 1Lawrence Pinkley's Casebook. Vol. 2The New Savants: Surge of the Red PlagueAmazon Publishing ManualA PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: When I was a child I enjoyed looking at the artwork that went with the books I read, especially those that had some hidden information that added an extra layer to the story. And that was something I wanted to recreate with Lawrence Pinkley Mysteries. Writing can sometimes be a lonely occupation, but teaming up with someone as talented and inspiring as Dylan Gibson, has made this book a complete joy to work on. Dylan's illustrations bring an added dimension to the story that make the characters take on a life all of their own. Download a FREE book by visiting www.timflanaganauthor.com

Vol. 1Lawrence Pinkley's Casebook. Vol. 2The New Savants: Surge of the Red PlagueAmazon Publishing ManualA PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: The idea for the Moon Stealers arrived quite unexpectedly one morning when myself and my son were getting ready to go out. He asked me to tell him a story so I randomly said: 'have you heard the one about the Moon Stealers?' Only a wild and exciting story would be good enough for my son so during our time in the bathroom we threw loads of ideas at each other and concocted an early form of the story. Later, as I started to write it down so that he could draw some pictures to go with it, I found the ideas grew organically and two years later, the four book series was complete.

¿This book, itself a study of two books on the Baroque, proposes a pair of related theses: one interpretive, the other argumentative. The first, enveloped in the second, holds that the significance of allegory Gilles Deleuze recognized in Walter Benjamin¿s 1928 monograph on seventeenth century drama is itself attested in key aspects of Kantian, Leibnizian, and Platonic philosophy (to wit, in the respective forms by which thought is phrased, predicated, and proposed).The second, enveloping the first, is a literalist claim about predication itself ¿ namely, that the aesthetics of agitation and hallucination so emblematic of the Baroque sensibility (as attested in its emblem-books) adduces an avowedly metaphysical ¿naturalism¿ in which thought is replete with predicates. Oriented by Barbara Cassin¿s development of the concerted sense in which homonyms are critically distinct from synonyms, the philosophical claim here is that ¿the Baroque¿ names the intervallic [¿¿¿¿¿¿µ¿¿¿¿¿] relation that thought establishes between things. On this account, any subject finds its unity in a concerted state of disquiet ¿ a state-rempli in which, phenomenologically speaking, experience comprises as much seeing as reading (as St Jerome encountering Origen¿s Hexapla).
