Love Lies Bleeding

An old man, once a judge at the Court of Session, hovers between life and death. One memory haunts him. That of a love affair, years earlier, with a woman called Laura, a woman who from the moment he first saw her had changed his life forever. In her presence, his home city of Edinburgh seemed a new and exciting place, its once reserved people overflowed with warmth and friendliness towards him and gradually she, and she alone, became the focus of all joy in his world. But just when he begins to believe himself the happiest of men, a strange discovery makes him question not only all his old certainties but who Laura is, and if he ever knew her.
