Maddie Finn – Garry Disher

Maddie Finn lives with her mother above a converted stables in the grounds of a big house owned by the gloomy Harold Delamore. It’s their ‘cosy refuge against the world’, and Maddie’s favourite task is to walk Sal, Mr Delamore’s rare, prize-winning dog.

But one day Maddie and her mother are given two months notice by the trouble-making Delia Delamore, home from her boarding school – or has she been expelled?

And when Maddie takes Sal for a walk next morning, Delia comes too…into a dark alley, where a gang of kidnappers is waiting…

But who do they want?

Maddie Finn is a tense, exciting story of a difficult friendship by the best-selling author of The Bamboo Flute and The Divine Wind.
