AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'For a while Lawrence Martin had everything. He was the keyboard player in a successful rock band; he had money, his choice of women. It was all a long way from the British boarding school where he met Roly, the charismatic front man who lured him to Australia in the first place, and with whom he shared the song-writing. Only after it all went wrong did Lawrence learn they'd been sharing other things as well.
'Two decades on, living in the highlands of Scotland, he's again confronted with those turbulent years, and with the accident that changed everything.,.' (From the publisher's website.)
