Ruth Dugdall will be launching her new book at Chapter 1 Bookstore on Saturday 24 October 2015 at 14:00.
Nowhere Girl is set in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and is about teenager Ellie, who goes missing on the first day of the big annual Schueberfouer. The police – in Ruth’s story – are dismissive, keen to avoid negative publicity for one of Luxembourg’s most important events.
Probation officer Cate Austin, who has moved to the Grand Duchy for a fresh start and lives with her detective boyfriend, sees how casually he is taking the 17-year-old’s disappearance and opts to investigate for herself.
“The idea of a child being kidnapped in Luxembourg is truly terrifying; we are 15 minutes from three other countries (Belgium, France and Germany) and then just a few hours from Holland, Switzerland. Where would a search even begin?" said author Ruth Dugdall in a recent interview.
Chapter1 is located at 42 Rue Astrid in Luxembouirg-Belair. See www.chapter1.lu for details.
