The Butterfly Tattoo by Philip PullmanAZ: "Chris falls in love with Jenny the moment he sets eyes on her at an Oxford ball. She's beautiful but secretive and he can't help but want to be with her. But fate is cruel and, as their relationship blossoms, tragedy and violence wait in the wings. Chris's boss has a shady past that won't stay hidden. And his ruthless enemies will use two innocent teenagers to exact their revenge on him ..."
Cracking opening line, very Dick Francis: 'Chris Marshall met the girl he was going to kill on a warm night in early June, when one of the colleges in Oxford was holding its summer ball". Generally a much better coming of age book than The Broken Bridge, although I really disliked the lack of resolution. However, I understand this would be attractive to teenage readers.
