The Brief History of the
Dead
Meanwhile in another city, more and more people arrive every day. Each has a different story to tell, but their accounts have one thing in common — it was their final journey. For this is the city of the dead. And the link between this city and Laura’s journey lies at the heart of Kevin Brockmeier’s novel. The Brief History of the Dead tells a story about our lives — about our place in the world, our connections with each other, and what happens to us all after our deaths. Debts of Dishonour: The Return
of Imogen Quy
Hoping to attract a generous endowment, St Agatha’s invites the fabulously wealthy Sir Julius Farran to dine. The evening is a disaster for everyone but Imogen Quy: Farran invites her to come and work for him. She declines, but when Farran dies, suddenly and shockingly, she has to look into it. His death left a large hole in his company accounts that could mean financial ruin for St Agatha’s. To save her college, Imogen starts to cast her cool eye over the financier’s heirs, employees and enemies. What is right about the death of Sir Julius? What is wrong about it? And why did it happen? After all, her name rhymes with why... Imogen Quy first appeared in The Wyndham Case and A Piece of Justice, which was shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger Award.
