Peter Straker lives in a disused lighthouse on the Devon coast, his routines dictated by the sea and weather, with two cats for company and no neighbours. He speaks to no one - except in his dreams. There he converses with some of the seventy eight people he believes he killed twenty-four years earlier. If only he could remember exactly what happened.
But Straker's carefully preserved solitude is about to be invaded. Imogen Doody, a school caretaker with a painful history that has left her prickly and unapproachable, inherits a run-down cottage in the nearby village. Against his will - and hers - Straker finds himself helping her to repair it. And as the 25th anniversary of his crime approaches, other forces are gathering to disturb his precarious peace.
Guilt, loss and a Tiger Moth plane lie at the heart of this captivating story of two misfits.
