Publisher's Synopsis
Who is the mysterious visitor who turns up every year in the picturesque Cotswold village of Drayburn? What dark secret is he keeping? In another gripping thriller, award-winning writer, Alan Reynolds creates intrigue and finger-nail biting tension as we follow an itinerant worker who has returned to the English countryside for the past six summers applying his skills for the benefit of local people. In return for doing odd jobs and maintenance in the medieval church of St James he is given board and lodgings by the vicar and his wife. The villagers are only too keen to make the most of his many talents and treat him as one of their own but there are those from his past that would do him great harm. His very survival depends on him keeping his previous life from being discovered. This year it will be different. Maybe, just maybe it's time to stop running.
