✦ Synopsis

Britain, 2020. When Patrick fell into the sinkhole, the Goulden family thought that was the end of the matter – until, driven by a growing sense of failure, Danny walks out of his privileged life to become a rough sleeper. Leah, who has started to speak again after twenty-five years of self-imposed silence, now wonders who she is and whether Martin is the right man for her. The brilliant James is still a brain without a purpose. Outside the family, Keith Loadstone has escaped from the rigours of being a London policeman to find a quieter life in North Yorkshire. Jud Mindsett is an incompetent politician who hates being a Junior Minister and longs for power. Ivor has fled the restrictions of Putin’s Russia and wants British citizenship. As each of these individuals thrash about in the mess of their own lives, chasing their other selves, their destinies become intertwined. Patrick’s body reappears, Martin stumbles upon some dangerous correspondence, and the Goulden family find themselves pitched into matters of national importance. Chris Bridge’s third novel is a human thriller and a dark satire; a work of fiction that tells the truth..M.F
