“[An] A unique combination of dark realism, satire, and psychological insight…complex, disturbing, and sometimes beautiful.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review
After a horrific child murder, Detective Ray Lennox of the Edinburgh Police suffers a nervous breakdown. He’s suspended for psychological adjustment and heads to Miami for a few days of sunshine. From that point on, the crime becomes a Welsh blend of horror and psychological acumen, as Lennox faces dwindling antidepressants, a wedding magazine-toting fiancée and cocaine-snorting locals who push him back into his old habits and leave him with a child to look after. Is he really cut out to play knight errant to a terrified ten-year-old girl? Will his best instincts and worst judgement get them both killed, or will it get him the redemption he seeks?
