Geoffrey Archer
Dark Angel
Tom Sedley's idyllic summer vacation in a leafy post-war suburb of north London came to a shocking end on 14 September 1948, when his sister was brutally murdered in nearby woodland. A tramp was arrested, but for the young boy it was the end of childhood and the beginning of a lifelong search to discover what had actually happened that late summer day. Marcus Warwick was Tom's neighbour and best friend but the murder changed their relationship forever. Sent to Korea two years later, the two meet in the chaos of war, but a gulf of distrust and class has opened between them, and the one can barely trust the other with his life. Only years later, when Tom stumbles across his sister's secret diary, can he seek final justice for her murder.

Elizabeth Aston
The Exploits And Adventures Of Miss Alethea Darcy
High-spirited Alethea Darcy, with all the advantages of youth, beauty and a large fortune, nonetheless makes a disastrous marriage to a man whose charming manners conceal a deeply unpleasant nature. Flinging caution to the wind, she flees the marital home. Masquerading as Aloysius Hawkins, gentleman, and accompanied only by her maid, Figgins, she sets off for Venice to take refuge with Camilla Wytton, the most worldly and understanding of her sisters. But events - always dramatic and sometimes dangerous - conspire to thwart her plans.

Meave Binchy
Nights Of Rain And Stars
Four strangers, with nothing in common but a need to escape, meet in a Greek taverna high above the small village of Aghia Anna. From Ireland, America, Germany and England, they have each left their homes and their old lives, when a shocking tragedy throws them unexpectedly together. Nights of Rain and Stars is the story of one summer and four people, each with a life in turmoil. With the help of Vonni, a middle-aged Irish woman who lives in the village and is now a near-native, they find solutions - though not necessarily the ones they anticipated.
• A story told as only Maeve Binchy could, with the authenticity and charm that are her trademark, Nights of Rain and Stars will be cherished by her many fans.
