Who is the man sandblasted to death? The police investigate, and DS Singleterry's department destroys evidence and lies to the press. This offhand attitude towards justice - and the murder's sheer brutality - impel Dr Tilt towards a funeral on Stillgate Hill. 'Why did you come?' he asks the other mourner. 'I had to make sure he was dead,' is the reply.
Thirty years of hiding have buried nothing.
Can retribution ever erase the suffering of past injustice? Where is the difference between victim and murderer? And what is this strange sculpture in flesh? These are just some of the harrowing questions raised by David Fine's impressive debut, set in Sheffield - a city of steel where rivers disappear.
