Mandy

A glamorous stranger convinces Mandy of the importance of the correct paperwork.

Something is holding Mandy back. But what is it? Can she overcome it? Does she even know what it is? Is there anything she can do about it?

For once, Mandy has the perfect job. The hours are fine, the pay is good, the fag breaks are reasonable. There's only one problem: people. Yes, them again. Can Mandy outwit them at last?

An old friend brings a chance of redemption for Mandy, but also misfortune, death, danger and destruction – a heady mix, especially for a Tuesday afternoon.

Mandy's dreams are shattered by the arrival of a mysterious night-time visitor.

Mandy is forced to confront a dramatic change to her whole way of life, and she must look for meaning in places where she's either been too tired or too bored to look for it before.

Mandy rarely dabbles in global diplomacy, especially over Christmas when it's so cold out and there's good telly on, but when she does, you can bet that she makes a real difference to the balance of power in the world.
