About this item
When a young woman is attacked walking home from her local supermarket, Bea Jordan, a smart but unfulfilled checkout girl, is determined to investigate. Colleagues and customers become suspects, secrets are uncovered. While fear stalks the town, Bea finds an unlikely ally in Ant, the seemingly airheaded new trainee, but risks losing the people she loves most as death comes close to home. This is a warm, contemporary story with likeable leads, an engaging cast of supporting characters and a dark thread running throughout. ""British YA author Ward (Numbers) tries her hand at an adult mystery, a series debut, with promising results....Readers will look forward to their [Ant & Bea] next outting,""-Publishers Weekly.
About the Author
I'm a fortysomething author of books for young adults. I live in Bath, England, with my husband, two teenagers, dog, cat and chickens. I've had 'sensible' jobs for 25 years, and now I'm a writer too. I've been writing for about 10 years, and have published the Numbers trilogy. The first book came out in the UK in 2009 and the USA in 2010. My Numbers books explore the gift of being able to see death dates. If you looked in somebody's eyes and saw the date of their death, would it change the way you felt about people? Would it change the way you lived your life?
