The Plotting by John Lucas

Description

On a bleak mid-week evening early in the new year, a semi-professional jazz musician is nearing the end of a pub session when he suddenly recognizes, sitting at the back of a room, a woman who disappeared from his life ten years earlier. Why is she here? What does she want? Uncovering answers to these questions is at the heart of this novel. Set in a small midlands town, The Plotting is about the often hidden motives by which seemingly ordinary people choose to steer their lives.  272pp
