Overview from Barnes & Noble:
It should have been a simple job. But for Garrett, a human detective in a world of gnomes, tracking down the woman to whom his dead pal Danny left a fortune in silver is no slight task. Even with the aid of Morley, the toughest half-elf around, Garrett isn't sure he'll make it out alive from a land where magic can be murder, the dead still talk, and vampires are always hungry for human blood.
A
contemporary SF thriller. The divide between science and the human spirit is
the setting for a battle for the future.

Overview from Barnes & Noble:
When
physicist Robert Strong loses his job at the Dark Matter research lab and his
relationship falls apart, he returns home to Scotland. Then the dead start
appearing to him, and Robert begins to question his own sanity. Victor Amos, an
enigmatic businessman, arrives and recruits Robert to sabotage CERN’S Large
Hadron Collider, convincing him the next step in the collider’s research will
bring about disaster. Everything Robert once understood about reality, and the
boundaries between life and death, is about to change forever. And the biggest
change will be to Robert himself... Mixing science, philosophy and espionage,
Libby McGugan’s stunning debut is a thriller like no other.
