It is high summer. Walking on the Welsh borders, Robin Timariot meets an elegant woman who seems strangely out of place. They exchange a few words. A few days later Timariot learns from the newspaper that, just hours after their meeting, the woman was raped and murdered. A man is charged and convicted of the crime, but a string of inexplicable events begins to convince Timariot that all is not what it seems. Fascinated by the dead woman’s memory, he is sucked into the complex motives and tortured relationships of her family and friends, searching against his better judgement for the secret of what really happened the day she died. The closer he gets to the truth the more hideous and uncertain it seems to be. And far too late he realizes that anybody who uncovers it is unlikely to be allowed to live.

Enjoy the reading, dubly!

I met sequanna this afternoon in a cafe and got this book. I`ve never read a book by this author, so let`s see.
Thanks for the trade and for the café as well!

Some parts are a bit long-winded but otherwise it is very well written and characterised and keeps the tension till the end.
