A quiet Suffolk village, 1944. Gerald Haxton, aged fourteen, lives with his parents, a solitary twin who constantly talks to his still-born twin brother, Jack. Already disturbed and lonely, Gerald is horrified to discover the body of his elder sister Monica whilst walking in a forest near his home. Monica has been beaten to death with a wooden stake. Her young GI boyfriend is hanged for the crime. Too late, Gerald's father discovers who really killed Monica. Fifty years later Gerald, now nearing retirement, remains a loner. He works in a TV prop-hire company in London, and the nature of his job means that he is constantly reminded of the past and, by extension, of his sister's death. In an attempt to alleviate his solitude, Gerald takes to following Mel, the twelve-year-old daughter of a work colleague. Mel bears a striking resemblance to Monica. A few days later, Mel disappears.
Light edge wear to jacket, otherwise very good condition.
