End of the Line

To call this novel the story of a vendetta is apposite, for it is indeed a blood feud in the real sense of the phrase. It is a story of the animosities, flaring at times into hatred, between Jim Fallows who tells the story and a vastly rich, titled family named Conquest, one son of which is the evil genius in his life. There comes a time when Fallows can say: "They interfered with me once too often and now they won't ever again interfere with anyone." The time is the 1960s; the setting rural Sussex and the Caribbean.
