What do you do when your son is bullied? How far will you go to protect him from those who seek to cause him harm?
Jamie is thirteen years old, an only child. His mother has recently died. He and his father Sam have move to Sam's home town. A fresh start. An aunt to lend support. A new job for Sam, a new school for Jamie.
But one day Jamie comes home, bearing the scars of every parent's worst nightmare. Something must be done. So it begins.
Neil Cross's fourth novel is a nail-biting tour de force; a story of one father's love, anger and despair. Together with the widely-acclaimed Holloway Falls, also available in Scribner, it confirms him as one of the key commentators of our time.
