Down from London Alison Dilnutt

Twenty years ago, blocked screenwriter, C. K. Blaine stole a life. On the summer solstice he followed a local lad out on a cataclysmic bender and turned what he witnessed into his award-winning film, Burn. Now, under pressure from his fierce wife, Blaine is again desperate for a new story. The local boy, thuggish Jason Jenkins, makes a sinister and ominous reappearance just as some tantalising stolen letters come into Blaine's possession. As the vengeful Jenkins closes in, Blaine is forced to decide if he can pull the same scam twice. And he knows, that this time whatever he decides could mean his outwardly idyllic life by the sea goes up in flames, for good.
