An independent island state in the North Atlantic has fallen under
the sway of Rolph Mylchraine, a landowner who has gained ascendancy
by stage-managing witchcraft orgies and purveying cheap liquor.
Opposing him is Keig, a peasant of extraordinary physical strength
who gradually emerges leader on the grand scale. Through their
developing struggle, which becomes a guerrilla war in the classic
mould, echoes the sombre theme of the fatal tendency of power to
corrupt. Mr Keating, already acknowledged as a writer of
distinguished crime novels, has produced at perhaps the height of
his powers a book that is not only a new departure for himself but
also genuinely original.
