MENDELSON, CHARLOTTE
In a tiny flat in West London, sixteen-year-old Marina lives with her emotionally delicate mother, Laura,
and three ancient Hungarian relatives. Imprisoned by her family’s crushing expectations and their fierce
unEnglish pride, by their strange traditions and stranger foods, she knows she must escape. But the
place she runs to makes her feel even more of an outsider. At Combe Abbey, a traditional English public
school for which her family have sacrificed everything, she realises she has made a terrible mistake. She
is the awkward half-foreign girl who doesn’t know how to fit in, flirt or even be. And as a semi-Hungarian
Londoner, who is she? In the meantime, her mother Laura, an alien in this strange universe, has her own
painful secrets to deal with, especially the return of the last man she’d expect back in her life. She isn’t
noticing that, at Combe Abbey, things are starting to go terribly wrong.

ALREADY DEAD
BOOTH, STEPHEN
Derbyshire's CID have discovered a man's body lying in shallow water, but torrential rain has swollen the
rivers and flooded the roads, making travel difficult and forensic examination impossible. And that's not
all. The absence of DS Ben Cooper, on extended leave after an arson attack, has left a serious gap. DS
Diane Fry is a reluctant temporary replacement, but the fatal events of one damp August night are likely
to remain shrouded in mystery if they can't track down a car glimpsed only as a dark outline in the rain by
a passer-by. As the rain turns into a deluge, it emerges that Ben Cooper has vanished into thin air...
