ON BEULAH HEIGHT
HILL, REGINALD
Three little girls, one by one, had vanished from the farming village of Dendale. And Superintendent Andy
Dalziel, a young detective in those days, never found their bodies--or the person who snatched them.
Then the valley where Dendale stood was flooded to create a reservoir, and the town itself ceased to be .
. . except in Dalziel's memory. Twelve years later, the threads of past and present are slowly winding into
a chilling mosaic. A drought and dropping water table have brought Dendale's ruins into view. And a little
girl has gone missing from a nearby village. Helped by Chief Inspector Peter Pascoe, an older, fatter, and
wiser Dalziel has a second chance to uncover the secrets of a drowned valley. And now the identity of a
killer rests on what one child saw . . . and what another, now grown, fears with all her heart to remember .

ON BLACK SISTERS' STREET
UNIGWE, CHIKA
Before Efe came to Belgium, she imagined castles and clean streets and snow as white as salt. Belgium,
'...a country wey dey Europe. Next door to London'. At the house on Zwarterzusterstraat, four very
different women have made their way from Africa to claim for themselves the riches of Europe. Sisi, Ama,
Efe and Joyce are prostitutes, the girls who stand in the windows of the red-light district, promising to
make men's dreams come true - if only for half an hour and fifty euros. The murder of Sisi, the most
enigmatic of the women, shatters their already fragile world and as the women gather to mourn, the
stories they have kept hidden are finally told. Drawn together by tragedy, the women reveal, each in her
own voice, what has brought them to their present lives. Joyce, a great beauty whose life has been
destroyed by war; Ama, whose dark moods manifest a past injustice; Efe, whose efforts to earn her keep
are motivated by a particular zeal and finally, Sisi, whose imagination takes her far beyond the squalor of
her reality. These are stories of terror, of displacement, of love, and of a sinister man named Dele...Raw,
vivid and suffused with the power of the oral story-telling tradition, "On Black Sisters' Street" is a moving
story of the illusion of the West through African eyes, and its annihilation. It is also, however, a story of
courage, of unity and of hope.
