About the Author
Extract from The Mayfly

‘Can you tell me your name?’

The girl shook her head, almost imperceptibly.

‘Can you tell me where you’re from?’

Another slight shake.

Rose was about to move towards her when someone spoke from behind. The small man hidden in the oversized raincoat.

‘Officer, look.’

Rose followed the outstretched hand to the girl’s midriff, and down to where a ragged skirt flapped across her thin, bare legs. At first Rose thought it might be dirt. It had rained hard the night before and the ground was muddy in places.

But the rust-coloured patches running from underneath her white dress to her heels weren’t mud.

‘Honey,’ she whispered, ‘what happened to you?’
