It is a golden evening of high summer. Walking a ridge on
the Welsh Borders, Robin Timariot meets by chance an
elegant middle-aged woman who seems strangely out of
place. They exchange only a few words, but those words
prove to be unforgettable. A few days later Timariot
learns from the newpapers that, just hours after their
meeting, the woman was raped and murdered.
A man is
swiftly charged and convicted of the crime, but a string
of inexplicable events begins to convince Timariot that
all is not what it seems. Fascinated by the dead woman's
memory, he is sucked into the complex motives and tortured
relationships of her family and friends, searching against
his better judgemnt for the secret of what really happened
the day she died.
The closer he gets to the truth,
the more hideous and uncertain it seems to be. And far
too late he realizes that anybody who uncovers it is
unlikely to be allowed to live.
