Their journey will turn into a living nightmare and survival for one of them may mean the end for the other.You cannot run forever. At some point, the only way to have a future is to turn and face the past.What a rare gem this book is. So well written, visual, vital and atmospheric.Funny, honest and perceptive in his observation of human frailties, Richard Pearson's first book is impressive.Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Atmospheric, melancholic, laced with pathos and dry humour. Excellent plot and an intriguing outcome.A great read, I can see a classic two man play coming from this debut novel.The story gives an insight into human weakness and strength, dependency, fear, culpability, acceptance and friendship. Throughout the tale, we are both led and followed by the ghostly embodiment's of our character's guilt. Well worth a read in my opinion.Read more
