Description:
<DIV><DIV><b>A collection of three gripping mysteries by Gillian White:&#160;<i>Copycat</i>,&#160;<i>Dogboy</i>, and&#160;<i>Unhallowed Ground</i></b></div><DIV><BR>In&#160;<i>Copycat</i>, almost everyone has a friend whom they barely tolerate. It&rsquo;s that person whose jokes are always annoying, who tries to butt in on nights out, or who keeps coming over unannounced. For Martha, that friend is her new neighbor, Jennie. Jennie worships Martha. She loves everything about her: Martha&rsquo;s house, Martha&rsquo;s impressive children, Martha&rsquo;s attractive husband, even the way Martha dresses. But when Jennie starts changing, gaining confidence and succeeding in love and work, Martha&rsquo;s life begins to come apart at the seams.<BR><BR>In&#160;<i>Dogboy</i>, Jem loved her job. She was a social worker, and she always took care of her cases. One boy, Fergus, took to her instantly. From the age of eight, when his mother died and he landed at the social services office, he loved Jem fiercely. But Jem&rsquo;s marriage to Gerry, in Fergus&rsquo;s mind, was the deepest betrayal. Years later, when a callous tycoon&rsquo;s life is falling apart around him, it&rsquo;s Gerry who steps in to help. And Jem must deal with the return of an old acquaintance: Fergus, armed with a shotgun and a thirst for vengeance.<BR><BR>And in&#160;<i>Unhallowed Ground</i>, widowed London social worker Georgina &ldquo;Georgie&rdquo; Jefferson battles guilt and public disgrace when one of her charges, abused five-year-old Angela Hopkins, is beaten to death. She retreats to Furze Pen, an isolated Devon cottage that once belonged to Stephen, the deceased brother she never knew. In this refuge, she hopes to learn something about Stephen. But the hostility of her neighbors and a series of chilling incidents&mdash;including the disappearance of her dog and a stranger lurking around the cottage at night&mdash;disturb Georgie&rsquo;s desperate search for peace. As winter closes in, Georgie must discover who or what threatens her most . . . the tragedies of her past or a new danger from her tormented present.</div></div>
