Description
'Utterly absorbing... addictive, funny and brilliantly observed' Daily Mail
Stewart Gilmour is back in Stonemouth, the estuary town north of Aberdeen that on a bleak day can seem to offer little more than sea-fog, gangsters, cheap drugs and a suspension bridge irresistible to suicides. After a five-year exile, Stewart's presence is required at the funeral of patriarch Joe Murston, even though the last time Stu saw the Murstons he was running for his life.
But Stonemouth is also home to the girl who still haunts his dreams....
