On a snowy November day in 1997, in Flint, Michigan, police found the body of 45-year-old waitress Nancy Billiter. Her corpse had survived a botched attempt to burn it. An autopsy revealed that she'd been bound, beaten, sexually violated, and then injected with a lethal mixture of battery acid and heroin. Police suspected Nancy's friend, Carol Giles, 26, and Giles' boyfriend, Tim Collier, who had often boasted of a murderous gangland past.

Powerful, poetic and disturbing, Needlework is a girl’s meditation on her efforts to maintain her bodily and spiritual integrity in the face of abuse, violation and neglect. Winner of the Children’s Books Ireland Honour Award for Fiction and a White Raven Award from the International Youth Library.

Isidore Beautrelet, a prodigy sixth-form schoolboy, has discovered more clues, revealed more truths, and anticipated more of Arsène Lupin’s movements than anyone on the police force. When Lupin recognizes an adversary of his own mettle, he counters by raising the stakes. Beautrelet does the same. Soon the two are at it hammer and tongs, each in a feverish attempt to foil the other while succeeding in their own machinations. And what began as a simple heist develops into a sophisticated chase to uncover Arsène Lupin’s greatest secret.
