The Red Suitcase

A terrorist bomb has forced Ruth's family to leave Indonesia and return to Takapuna Beach, Auckland, where she desperately tries to establish a life at her new school. But instead she finds herself inexplicably sharing the exploits of a mysterious airman who went missing during World War II. The only person who makes any sense of what's happening to Ruth is physics geek Thomas Barnard - he knows something about the slippery nature of time. Help also comes from Ruth's old friend Sally, who has a mysterious problem of her own. An exciting story about a war that won't go away, the uncertainties of peace and the need for friends to make sense of both.
