NATURAL FLIGHTS OF THE HUMAN MIND by Clare Morrall

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 24 years ago. 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.
