'Ted Lewis is one of England's finest, but still most neglected
post-war writers' Two men share a common history. Growing up
together in the small town of Barton-Upon-Humber in Lincolnshire,
England, Peter Knott is everything that Brian Plender wishes he
were. Knott is suave, good-looking, an exemplary student and
popular. The friendship they maintain is as important to Plender as
it is forgettable to Knott, and eventually leads to a lasting
humiliation for Brian. Years later Brian Plender is a dangerous
man; a private investigator who specializes in extortion,
blackmail, and intimidation. Knott meanwhile is a family man
adrift, beholden to his wife for money. When, at a bar he uses to
set up marks, Plender spots Knott with a girl way too young to be
his wife he decides to follow the pair and see what happens. What
follows is an edge-of-your-seat trip into a nightmare story that
manages to be both incredibly creepy and eerily profound.
