A Tortuous path is a contemporary drama about a group of people who
set up a charity to raise money for a hospice. Their organising
committee is infiltrated by a terrorist, but they do not suspect
this till much later when tragedy occurs. Everyday life is woven
through the novel with developing relationships, social gatherings,
weddings and funerals. David, the main protagonist, ponders on what
makes a marriage, the role of Christianity in people's lives, and
class differences. He also experiences hospices at first hand when
his father dies in a hospice in Scotland. David is the hospital's
popular administrator but is divorced and lonely. He gets involved
by chance with the hospice group which includes his friend Kim, the
hospital's senior oncology nurse; Jamal Khan, a junior consultant
at the hospital; and his American friend, Al Mercer. Also involved
are four other members of the hospital staff. The appeal progresses
with recruitment of new committee members, meetings and fund
raising activities. But from the outset there are curious incidents
and encounters which puzzle David. This is a thrilling book that
grips the attention until the final close.
