A thought adventure begins with a heart-stopping moment. Fin hears car
doors clam, a scream and a dull thud. Through the mist he glimpses a
figure falling from the bridge; when he reaches it he finds it is a
girl who he is helpless to save. After questioning from the police, Fin
tries to piece together the story. Did she jump or was she pushed? His
inquiry leads him to unravel some of the mystery surrounding his own
sister’s disappearance as well as uncovering a secret that lies at the
heart of his island community.
Standing on the beach watching the early morning mist roll in off the
sea, Fin is thinking about the day when he can move to the mainland,
and escape the misery at home. His sister got away but now no one has
heard from her in two years. Fin's thoughts are interrupted by the
sound of a car on the bridge above him. He hears doors slam, voices, a
scream and then, for a brief moment, he glimpses a figure falling
through the fog. It's a teenage girl, and she dies in Fin's arms. Did
the dead girl jump or was she thrown? Sceptical of the official suicide
verdict, Fin is determined to find the truth, a hunt that will lead him
closer to his missing sister and to a shocking secret at the heart of
his island community.
