This is the second book in a series about Dr Rhona MacLeod, who is a forensic scientist working with the Police in Glasgow. The book commences with bodies and buildings being torched in Glasgow. Dr MacLeod's colleagues in the Edinburgh Police have also noticed similar cases and as the cases bear more than a passing coincidence, Rhona finds herself commuting between Edinburgh and Glasgow as she becomes more and more embroiled in the fire investigations.

Imagine a young man on his way to a less than thirty second event - the loss of his left hand, long before he reached middle age...
This is the doorway by which we meet Patrick Wallingford, John Irving's character in the book, firth published in 2001. Those of you who do not know, Mr Irving is the best-selling American author.

Advantages: Robust, easy to use and good light Disadvantages: none
There are so many torches out there at a cheaper price offering the same features so they say. However having owned some other brands that claim to be as good, i found that they often broke, were of poor build quality and were not as bright as the ac Tikka Head Torch.
This head torch is of excellent quality, both build quality and light quality. It is easy to operate and its 4 LED's provide bright light where ever it is needed. It is also extremely robust, being weather proof and tough. The LED's also emit light on a frequency that does not interfere with any night vision equipment which is a great feature for anyone in the Military. The flip down red screen helps you keep your night vision without blinding you which is a great feature. A great torch. ...

Album Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (1/14/94, p.55) - "...What could have easily degenerated into arty posturing is a compelling, danceable delight..." - Rating: A Vibe (12/93-1/94, p.158) - "...HAND ON THE TORCH is that rare jazz-rap mix that takes jazz's rhythmic kick to the front of the house..." Down Beat (1/94, p.49) - 3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - "...The raps are fresher than the beats (the new beats, that is)...the hard-bop oldies...save the show by stealing it...."
