First Edition, Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780955506703 240 pages. Available Now. Synopsis : Fear death by water. D. The discovery of a cryptic note hidden inside a second-hand book sends thirty-something Hugh Mullion on an obsessive search for its previous owner. Hugh uncovers secrets that have lain hidden for sixty years and turn upside down his views of personal identity and the certainty of the past. Along the way, Hugh learns more about himself and what he really wants from his relationship with his partner, Kate - and about the puzzling disappearances of Anthony Buffo, in whose shop Hugh found the book that changed everything. Hugh Mullion walked back home from the station that evening for the last time. He and his partner, Kate Roberts, were moving from this part of South London in the morning. As he made his way down the parade flanked by Bin Ends and the betting shop Hugh paused to look in the window of Peter's Antiques. A copper warming pan on the wall gleamed quietly in the light of a small table lamp. The dappled rocking horse in the corner appeared to rock gently back and forth, as if pushed by an invisible hand. The horse's eyes betrayed a hint of sadness. Hugh sighed and thought of the hours he had spent there and at Toad Books next door. Size: 13.5 x 1.8 x 19.9 cm. 240 pages.
