Publisher's summary

Rowan Coffey is 19 when he leaves university, a bright-burning boy come home to hide after the cruel, casual murder of a friend. Rowan had no alibi; exhausted after weeks of being under suspicion, he's looking for shelter, what's warm, familiar, and safe. But what he finds is chill. And danger. And death....

Critic reviews

“An exceptional, strange and affecting psychological thriller...mesmerizing, lyrical and hypnotic, with a stunning climax.” (The Bookseller)
“Bewitchingly told.... This is a story to savor, with a twist in the tail that chills the very marrow.” (Manchester Evening News)

Such a strong first couple of chapters

The writer’s cerebral mishmash of crime story, myth story-telling, and abstract, poetic language pulled me in quickly — but soon left me adrift. A sudden chapter describing child sexual abuse was unpleasant and unexpected. I plowed on hoping for action and drama but then the narrative with the gnome ( happening in the same time continuum as the narrator’s homecoming? ) soured me on the whole grand experiment.

Too Bizarre For Words..!!..

Well,.. the author must have drunk a pot of coffee and took his dictionary, threw it into the air,.. and what ever words rained down on him he strung together for this totally bizarre and needless offering of tripe..
