Monday Club. The First Victim
384 Pages | ISBN 978-3-7891-4061-7

Since early childhood, sixteen-year-old Faye Mason has suffered from
idiopathic insomnia, a rare sleeping disorder. Her sleepless nights have made
their mark on her and Faye is often unable to distinguish between
reality and fantasy. Then something terrible happens: Faye’s best friend,
Amy, is killed in a car accident, but only a short time later, she meets the
supposedly dead Amy in the street. Is Faye hallucinating? Or is Amy still alive?
It would be better for Faye not to ask too many questions, not even at
the Monday Club, of which all the important people in town are members.
