In the scorching summer of 1976, Patrick leaves home, determined to escape from a family still reeling from the suffocating aftereffects of a terrible tragedy. Hoping to find peace of mind, love, and adventure, he heads to the brooding seaside resort of Morcambe. Here he is catapulted into the complicated world of the fairground folk. He meets the beautiful Clare, the giant Malone, and the mysterious Zola, who describes himself as a 'collector of souls'. Patrick soon discovers that he cannot escape his past and is quickly drawn into a deadly game of love and revenge. Now, years later, a mysterious letter calls Patrick back to Morcambe, where he fears he will be finally held to account for the events of that terrible summer. After all, he knows what lies beneath the sands. He soon discovers that nothing is ever as it seems, and memories may not always be trusted. A tale in which Patrick comes of age twice in very different circumstances.

This book is a first course in statistics for students of biology. Most of the examples have an ecological bias, but illustrate principles which have direct relevance for biologists doing laboratory work. The structured approach begins with basic concepts, and progresses towards an appreciation of the needs and use of analysis of variance and regression, and includes the use of computer statistical packages. The work is clearly explained with worked examples of real-life biological problems, and should be suitable for undergraduate students engaged in quantitative biological work. Biostatistics should give students a sound grasp of the key principles of biological statistics without overwhelming detail, and should allow students to quickly apply techniques to their own work and data.
