Teenager Robbie is caught up in a murder investigation, when he discovers a drowned body on his first day home from boarding school. The holiday island run and managed by his parents is descended on by police from the mainland. Their questioning probes island residents, hotel staff and guests, and day-trippers. As secrets from the past and present are gradually uncovered, Robbie faces uncomfortable truths within his own family, and realizes his idyllic island home will probably never be the same again.'

'This collection covers a variety of moods from weighty to frivolous, and includes examples of formal poetic structures as well as free verse. The reader is invited to join the poet in exploring the familiar, the esoteric and all stages in between – the waving is always a welcome but can also be a cry for help or a warning.' (Publication summary)
