In this, his most recent novel, Robin Jenkins returns to the fictional fishing community of Lunderston to trace the story of two school-aged children, Matthew and Sheila, thrown together following the death of Matthew's mother. Deserted and rejected by his father and grandfather, Matthew is taken to Lunderston by his guardian where he encounters Sheila who forces her way into his life and introduces him to her own darker beliefs and habits. Together they flirt with the possibilities of murder and the supernatural as a solution to his problems... This is a dark and gripping tale from Robin Jenkins, one of Scotland's foremost novelists. He is the author of over twenty novels of which Willie Hogg, The Thistle and the Grail, Leila and the recent short story collection Lunderston Tales are published by Polygon.
