Publisher's Synopsis
A man reunites with his estranged, ailing father to learn the truth about his own tragic childhood in this mystery from "a very promising writer" (Sir Michael Parkinson, journalist and television presenter).
In 1994, eleven-year-old Callum was abducted from his Wiltshire village. His body was found six months later by his older brother, Tom, near a Neolithic henge called the Shadowing Stones. It was the first in a series of events that would destroy Tom's family; the boys' father was a suspect but never charged, and their mother died by suicide a year later. Convinced his father was responsible for his brother's death, Tom fled to Australia to start a new life.
Now, almost three decades later, Tom learns that his father is dying of cancer. Knowing this may be his last chance to uncover the truth, Tom returns to England. But when childhood acquaintance, Anna, forms a bond with Tom, old feelings are stirred. As he's reluctantly drawn closer to both Anna and his father, Tom is confronted with a series of shocking twists and revelations that will change his life forever.
