About this story
Thirty-five chapters of a windowless green room, a phone with exactly one contact, a marriage that goes ahead anyway, and a killing that changes everything. Then eighteen silent months, an inherited company, and a reunion in a ruined church where the captive sets the terms.
Who you’ll meet
The one-eyed ex-soldier who worships the reader's poetry and crashes their engagement party, with Otis Cravemore, the arranged fiancé he is taking them from, a step behind him.
