Rachel wakes up on the train with no idea who she is or where she is going. By chance she meets Rory MacDonald, just retired after twenty years in the military and a friend of Inspector James Bulmer. He discovers her identity just as her husband’s body is found in the boot of an abandoned car. Her suitcase on the back seat contains jewels, and Bulmer suspects that she is faking amnesia and that she is part of a gang involved in a number of crimes. Rory is convinced of her innocence, refusing to believe she is involved with a master criminal responsible for a series of robberies and the hijacking of whisky lorries, but is he being fooled by a pretty face and air of helplessness? THE CUCKOO WALL Ten-year-old Minnie’s life revolves round Gran who likes drinking and betting, and Mam who constantly has her nose in romantic magazines. But why do they not seem to like each other very much? And what is the mystery about Minnie’s father, who she will learn about when the time is right?But ten year olds grow up, life throws up bigger questions and the answers are not always what one expects.
