A fishing lodge in Canada sounds like paradise. Except Jimmy and his family discover that the owner, Bert Gressy, has let the place fall to ruins. And worse still, he keeps a dangerous secret on the far side of the island, and a 13 year-old boy is about to learn quite a lot about desire and his own nature.
"Suddenly Jimmy was glad to be bleeding. He made a show of limping, managing a few strides toward the front of the house and the tall locked gate. The woman stayed in the doorway, bare feet showing. They were almost forty feet apart, yet he could see every toe, how each of the perfect nails was painted red and how the toes curled over the splintery wood. He loved those feet. He could taste them against his open mouth."
