Description
What is reality, what is illusion? Miranda and Duncan are pushing the boundaries of science and philosophy, experimenting with thought-energy as they question the over-abundance of Dark Matter.Miranda is killed when an experiment goes awry and Duncan finds himself being pressurised to give up the Project, whilst at the same time trying to cover up the real cause of Miranda's death.An enigmatic girl called Starlight is an embodiment of the reality/illusion dilemma . As she puts it: "Everything has a logical explanation. It may not be entirely Newtonian, but there is no magic in it."The story weaves between Lancaster, London and the Lake District as the characters wrestle with the morality and dangers associated with the Project.Miranda's sister receives a terse note that alerts her to some strange circumstances associated with Miranda's death. Duncan's colleague, Simon, who worked with Miranda for a short time and would appear to be implicated in her death.
The 'final act' takes place at Long Meg stone circle on the day of the winter solstice.

I have had an interesting and fortuate life, first as Regional Agent for the National Trust, then as an owner of a passenger boat business in the English Lakes, and now as an author living much of my life in northern Greece, where both the weather and the people are warm!
