The Little Friend

neu, sehr gut

Although the Cleve family revels in almost every detail of their history, the events of one fateful Mother s Day are never, ever discussed. On that day, nine-year-old Robin Cleve was found hanging by the neck from a tree in their front garden. Eleven years later, the mystery- with its taunting traces of foul play- is no nearer a solution than it had been on the day it happened.
Inspired by Houdini and Robert Stevenson, twelve-year-old Harriet sets out with her only friend to find her brother s murderer- and punish him. But what starts out as a child s game soon becomes a dark and dangerous journey into the menacing underworld of a small Mississippi town.
