Luke has come to Cornwall to put the past behind him: Ruth in hope of a better future. They seems to have little in common but fate decrees otherwise.


In his first novel 'Happenstance' Melville Jones won critical acclaim for a story told with humour and insight against the backdrop of West Cornwall. Readers will not be disappointed with his new book which in telling the story of Luke and Ruth revisits the world of artists, fishermen, tourists and spectacular scenery.But not everything is as it seems. Darker forces compel Luke to revisit the troubled world he had tried to escape and Ruth to decide whether she can go with him on that journey.
