Redmond shows himself to be a scrupulously fair writer who refuses to stereotype his characters and views human behaviour with a high degree of compassion - Financial Times Well-paced and suspenseful - Gay Times This impressive first novel powerfully evokes the terrible effects of cruelty and bullying, whether by an adult or another child, and the unravelling nightmare is sustained with suspense and pace - Sunday Mirror Such is the hard-edged skill of Redmond's writing that the carefully structured revelations about the past have a bitter and compelling power - TLS Patrick Redmond's chilling debut novel is a first-rate page-turner - Daily Mirror The setting is genuinely chilling, and the atmosphere of menace and sterility riveting - Daily Express

Reseña del editor:

Something terrible happened at Kirkston Abbey school for boys during the bleak winter term of 1954. Now, more than forty years later, journalist Tim Webber is determined to find out the truth. He uncovers a disturbing tale of a seemingly innocuous friendship between two fourteen-year-old boys who embark on a series of psychological power games which escalate with increasingly unnatural and sinister results.
