Reunion

Fifty years after the events recounted in the novel 'Fourteen', the Mannering Gang, the main characters in the book, gather in the town of Cardigan for a reunion. Their lives have been spent fulfilling their dreams, suffering illnesses, injuries and grief and, in some cases, unsuccessful marriages. Just like everyone everywhere. 'Reunion' recounts the stories of their lives and these are intertwined with a puzzling mystery which concerns the disappearance of the Principal of the Cardigan High School into which someone is trying to implicate the Gang. The Mannering Gang doesn't want to be involved, but whoever is behind the disappearance obviously dislikes the Gang very much. As the group enjoys the events of their reunion, there is the looming, indefinable threat overshadowing what was supposed to be a time of joyful reunion. What the threat is and who is the perpetrator is a puzzle which perplexes the police and, even though they don't wish to be involved, the Mannering Gang as well.
