One summer day Clara Marshall vanished without trace. A few days later, her children, six-year-old Lorraine & five-year-old Janine, also disappeared & were never seen again. Richard Marshall, Clara's heartbroken husb&, claimed he had discovered his wife was having an affair with an Australian backpacker & that she had run away with him, taking the children with her, destroying the family for ever.

That was twenty-seven years ago. John Kelly, veteran journalist, covered the case when he was a trainee reporter & he suspected something far more sinister. Police enquiries discovered no Australian backpacker & the biggest missing persons operation ever mounted in the south of England revealed nothing. Detective Superintendent Karen Meadows has been familiar with case since childhood & she is only too aware that many suspect Marshall of murdering his wife & children. But where are the bodies? & what is the motive? Then extraordinary events reawaken the case & Kelly & Karen become determined to discover what happened to Clara & her children so long ago, & to seek justice for them...

Product Description

The world is running out of water. Some of our largest rivers now trickle into sand miles from the ocean, exhausted by human need. Water is 'the new oil'
- except we can live without oil; there are no alternatives to fresh water.

Fred Pearce explores the complex origins of the growing world water crisis. His vivid reportage reveals the personal stories behind failing rivers, barren fields, desertification, floods, water wars, & even the death of cultures.

Is there hope? Yes
- but only if we revolutionize the way we treat water. This phenomenally important book shows us just how essential it is that each of us takes responsibility for the water we use now
- before all our rivers run dry.

When the Rivers Run Dry by Fred Pearce has been selected as one of the Top 50 Sustainability Books as voted for by the University of Cambridge's Programme for Sustainability Leadership alumni network involving over 3, 000 senior leaders from around the world.
