      He's missing. So why's no one looking? Vivid, clever, utterly compelling, THE MISSING ACTIVIST is the story of an outsider's attempt to uncover a deadly conspiracy at the heart of a UK political party.

When a young political activist disappears in London, an off-the-wall Private Investigator Karen Andersen is put on the case. She uncovers secrets of a party system which prizes loyalty above truth, a serial killer and a female Jihadi plotting deadly revenge on the British Government. But Party secrets must be kept at all costs. A totally gripping contemporary thriller that will have you hooked from the very first page to the final, dramatic twist.

      Since these monologues were first published in 2002 they have been used by hundreds of schools and organisations who have found them indispensable in countering bullying and increasing overall empathy amongst students. In the text they are labelled for girls (G) or boys (B) though many can be transposed quite easily. They have been recently updated to cover social media, cyberbullying, sexting, and parental abuse.
