As Far As You Can Go
 
'Great opportunity for the right applicants: Western Australia. Housekeeper/companions required. Would suit young couple. Remote, rural location. Cooking, cleaning, gardening and caring duties. Applicants must be self-sufficient and resourceful'. Cassie is at a turning point. She wants a child and a bigger commitment from Graham, her artist boyfriend. A year away with him, in the wilds of Australia, could be just the answer. The enigmatic Larry Drake and his strange wife Mara live in Woolagong, an immense farm at the edge of the desert. It is a place of bleak, breathtaking landscape, a world far away from civilization and London. But its remoteness can make Woolagong a dangerous prison. And the more Graham and Cassie begin to uncover the dark secrets of their mysterious employers, the more trapped they feel. Filled with suspense and menace, As Far As You Can Go is a psychological drama from the acclaimed Lesley Glaister.

Nina Todd Has Gone
 
Nina Todd is not the sort of person you'd notice in the street - and that's the way she likes it. She keeps her head down and tries to live a quiet life: dull job, dependable boyfriend, no disruptions. If there are questions about Nina that remain unanswered, they are questions that even those closest to her don't dare to ask. When Nina meets the unnervingly handsome Rupert during a conference, it leads to the kind of empty adulterous encounter that she'd rather forget. But it soon becomes clear that Rupert doesn't feel the same way, and when he starts to turn up everywhere - gorgeous, worrying, distracting - her carefully constructed life begins to fall apart. He won't let her out of his sight - is it pure infatuation, or something more sinister? Who is Rupert, and what is the power he holds over her? And who is Nina Todd?

Now You See Me
 
Long-listed for the 2002 Orange Prize, Now You See Me is a contemporary gothic novel about the power of solitude and the impossibility of escaping personal histories. Both Lamb and Doggo are loners with secrets too dark to expose. Struggling to trust each other, they gradually develop a relationship which suggests the possibilities of solace, faith and friendship. 'If only all fiction made us worry and care so hard, posed us such dreadfully difficult questions.' The Guardian
