In this, her third short story collection, Geraldine Mills extends her thematic range to excavate new and shifting landscapes. Not afraid to tackle taboos, Hellkite occupies a space all of its own, where gender expectations are realigned to explore woman's inhumanity to man.

In a verse memoir, Mills follows the journey of her great-grandfather and his family from County Mayo, Ireland, to Warren, Rhode Island, in the late nineteenth century.

Caroline Paterson is a Detective Sergeant in the RUC. Used to doing battle against the ingrained sexism of her male colleagues, she begins to suspect something far worse - systematic collaboration between the officers of the RUC and the terrorists of the UDA - and she is determined to expose it.

Geraldine Mitchell's poems offer a timely warning that the planet is mortal and a reassuring reminder of life's cyclical nature. She reflects on a life marked out in distances - between cities; the sky to the sea; the spaces between the paw prints of a wolf; masterfully excavating extraordinary glimpses of the ordinary.
