Stonemouth

Stewart Gilmour is back in Stonemouth. After five years in exile his presen ce is required at the funeral of patriarch Joe Murston, and even though the last time Stu saw the Murstons he was running for his life, staying away m ight be even more dangerous than turning up. An estuary town north of Aberd een, Stonemouth, with it's five mile beach, can be beautiful on a sunny day . On a bleak one it can seem to offer little more than seafog, gangsters, c heap drugs and a suspension bridge irresistible to suicides. And although t here's supposed to be a temporary truce between Stewart and the town's bigg est crime family, it's soon clear that only Stewart is taking this promise of peace seriously. Before long a quick drop into the cold grey Stoun begin s to look like the soft option, and as he steps back into the minefield of his past to confront his guilt and all that it has lost him, Stu uncovers e ver darker stories, and his homecoming takes a more lethal turn than even h e had anticipated. Tough, funny, fast-paced and touching, Stonemouth cracks open adolescence, love, brotherhood and vengeance in a rite of passage nov el like no other.
