Publisher's Summary:

Sometimes a damaged child becomes a broken man....

Its 1954 and Adam Carter is 12 years old, an only child with no friends nor any self-confidence. His father Edward is a bully of a man. A successful and ruthless businessman, he breeds fear into the heart of his family. Adams mother Peggy is too cowed to protect her son, so Adams only support comes in the shape of Jake Wallis, the school bus driver.

One particular afternoon, when Adam is his last drop of the day, Jake decides to accompany him along the darkening wood land to his house, never suspecting that as they chat innocently, in the house at the end of the track a terrible tragedy is unfolding which will change Adams life forever.

Critic Reviews:

"Thanks to her near faultless writing, sympathies will lurch from one character to another, and as events reach their dramatic conclusion readers will find it impossible to tear themselves away." (News of the World)

"Another hit for Josephine Cox" (Sunday Express)

"Cox's talent as storyteller never lets you escape the spell" (Daily Mail)
