Description
The narrator resigns his post at an Oxford school where Latimer's son has been educated. This enables him to develop his relationship with Latimer's wife, Francine, in order to discover more about Latimer himself - whose past is not what it seems. As events descend into a spiral of distrust, jealousy, sex and murder, the narrator is increasingly certain that he is being haunted by the presence of Latimer's son - and that these unseemly happenings are more than just the product of his over-active imagination.
A spine-chilling, psychological drama, Latimer shows Brian Martin at his most thoughtful, thrilling best.
