Black Rabbit Summer

Shimmering, captivating, intense After the end of school, Pete's old clique meets to celebrate together one last time before everyone goes their separate ways. From the beginning it is clear that this hot summer evening will end badly. And indeed, there are two missing in the end: Raymond, Pete's anxious friend who never really belonged, and Stella, a former classmate. When Stella's body is found naked in the river a little later, suspicion falls on the absent Raymond. And Pete himself, who is investigating on his own, is also targeted by the police... On the shortlist for the 2009 Carnegie Medal.
