The Lola Quartet

'Mandel has a beautiful writing style' Independent on Sunday

How far would you go for someone you love?

The Lola Quartet: Jack, Daniel, Sasha and Gavin, four talented musicians at the end of their high-school careers. On the dream-like night of their last concert, Gavin's girlfriend Anna disappears. Ten years later Gavin sees a photograph of a little girl who looks uncannily like him and who shares Anna's surname, and suddenly he finds himself catapulted back to a secretive past he didn't realize he'd left behind.

But that photo has set off a cascade of dangerous consequences and, as one by one the members of the Lola Quartet are reunited, a terrifying story emerges: of innocent mistakes, of secrecy and of a life lived on the run.

Filled with love, music and thwarted dreams, The Lola Quartet is a thrilling novel about how the errors of the past can threaten the future.
