After eight years in the porn trade as a scriptwriter, Martin Benson returns to his home town of Norwich, in search of comfortable retirement. But the past rises up to disturb him and he realises that the "real life" he covets is becoming as nightmarish as the landscape he left behind. 'A writer of formidable accomplishment' Washington Post 'Taylor is marking out a territory as distinct and disturbing as Greeneland, with the same imperative towards moral inquisition and a flatlands melancholy that is all his own' Hilary Mantel, Sunday Times 'Taylor is a felicitous, intelligent writer' Herald
