Book Description
The unforgettable first novel in the classic Stevenson Family Saga from epic master Malcolm Macdonald John Stevenson is a just a foreman when a near-fatal accident bring young Nora Telling into his life. Her nimbleness of mind and his power of command enable them to take over the working mill and rescue it from catastrophe. Together with their friends the Thorntons-who are troubled by a marriage mismatched in passion-they are willing to risk any dare, commit themselves to any act of cunning on their climb from rags to riches. The first novel in the classic Stevenson Family Saga, The World from Rough Stones is the epic story of two ambitious but poor young people who, at the very start of the Victorian Era, combine their considerable talents to found a dynasty and go on to fame and fortune. "A monumental saga...rich and tremendous." -Boston Globe "A saga of immense power...the most exciting since the Swanns of Delderfield and the Forsytes of Galsworthy!" -Cincinatti Times "Zestful research and Macdonald's mastery of the dialects and speech of all classes bring his novel noisily to life from the first to the last page." -The [London] Times "A powerful new novel...a successful attempt to blend fiction with authenticity. The story is rich with colourful characters, brawling, boozing, and bedding...leaves the reader waiting impatiently for the next novel in what must be a memorable series." -Yorkshire Evening Post

Book Description
After the relief of retirement and leaving London in search of a quieter life in Wiltshire, Horatio Tiny wondered how he became involved in murder. It was 1985 and Tiny (as everyone knew him) was struggling to keep pace with a rapidly changing world. After a distinguished career as a barrister and judge, he was looking forward to settling into rural life in Oakshaw, a small village situated just north of the Marlborough Downs. He had only agreed to look into the death of a local man to comfort a friend but the more questions he asked, the more suspicious he became and the more he found himself being dragged into a world of intrigue, crime and deceit. Accompanied by his old colleague George Rawlings, their investigations quickly draw attention especially within the local Ashbury Estate, who’s growing reputation in international horseracing, is something they are keen to protect. Befriending the owners of the Estate, Tiny and Rawlings are invited to race meetings at Newbury and Royal Ascot but whilst enjoying the high life in the owner’s enclosure, tragedy strikes. Tapping into his old network of criminal contacts, Tiny’s ongoing enquiries seem to concern more than just the police, who are less than impressed by his meddling. Determined to see the investigation through to the end, Tiny soon discovers he’s out of his depth. Has he a greater number of friends than he thought or is it more the case of staying close to your enemies?
