I would warn that the back blurb definatly doesnt give this book the credit it deserves. It is ovious from the start that the author has been to the area he has created in real life, which definatly gives the whole book a new depth to it. I was very surprised when the book unraveled into a whole mystery, with a added bit of violence and corruption splashed in - and I have to say, I was very pleasently surprised. A great read (but only for a older reader - this book is very 'deep' to say the least") which I shall definatly be passing onto my children. I really cannot think of a fault. 5 stars and a Favourite for many years to come.
