Synopsis

This psychological thriller is narrated by Robin Timariot, a civil servant wondering if he should quit and join his family's cricket-bat manufacturing business instead. As he hikes along the Welsh borders in the summer of 1990, he encounters Lady Louise Paxton seated on a rock. The odd conversation between these two chance-met strangers takes on an eerie and profound significance when someone rapes and kills Lady Paxton a few hours later. As time passes, Timariot, now enmeshed in the family firm's declining fortunes, diverts himself by delving deeper and deeper into the deceased woman's past, obsessed with finding out the true circumstances behind the murder.
