Were Cynthia's family murdered? If so, why was she spared? And if they're alive, why did they abandon her? Now, married and with a daughter, Cynthia fears that her new family will be taken from her just as her first one was. She agrees to take part in a documentary revisiting the case. Then a letter arrives which makes no sense and yet chills her to the core. This book has been selected as one of Richard and Judy's Summer Reads 2008. |
| Synopsis: |
On the morning she will never forget, suburban teenager Cynthia Archer awakes with a nasty hangover and a feeling she is going to have an even nastier confrontation with her mom and dad. But when she leaves her bedroom, she discovers the house is empty, with no sign of her parents or younger brother Todd. In the blink of an eye, without any explanation, her family has simply disappeared. Twenty-five years later Cynthia is still haunted by unanswered questions. Were her family murdered? If so, why was she spared? And if they're alive, why did they abandon her in such a cruel way? Now married with a daughter of her own, Cynthia fears that her new family will be taken from her just as her first one was. And so she agrees to take part in a TV documentary revisiting the case, in the hope that somebody somewhere will remember something - or even that her father, mother or brother might finally reach out to her...Then a letter arrives which makes no sense and yet chills Cynthia to the core. And soon she begins to realise that stirring up the past could be the worst mistake she has ever made... |

The Appeal
In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing the worst "cancer cluster" in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.

Just What I Always Wanted
What do Mount Kilimanjaro, a hundred-million-dollar marble mansion, a pair of handcuffs, a jar of walnut jam, the bleeding heart of a dead elk, an incontinent donkey, two Scottish terriers called Negus and Stasi, a fur-lined jockstrap, and the fossilized bowel movement of a turtle have in common? They have all been offered as birthday presents to some rather famous people. This book presents a curiously compelling collection of celebrity birthday gifts from the 16th century to the present day.
