The little friend

Përshkrimi

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 haunting traces of foul play – is no nearer a solution than it had been on the day it happened. Inspired by Houdini and Robert Louis 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 od a small Mississipi town.
