The Hugo Duchamp Prequel Trilogy,

The year is 1995. Hugo Duchamp’s life is in turmoil. Bullied at school, abandoned by his parents, and living in the attic belonging to his rigid grandmother, the future appears bleak. And then everything changes. Over a long, hot summer, for the first time, Hugo falls in love with both a person and what will become the other passion in his life: the righting of wrongs. But it comes at a price and he finds himself in mortal danger. He must fight for his survival and for those he loves.

A year has passed since the explosive events of Hugo & Josef, and a teenage Hugo Duchamp is still struggling to overcome the mental and physical scars of the trauma. Even more alone and dejected than before, Hugo unwittingly walks into a new adventure. A young girl is missing, presumed dead, and Hugo finds himself embroiled in the affair when he is befriended by a charming and charismatic young man. But as Hugo has already learned, nothing is ever what it seems, and it is not long before his own life is in danger once again.
