<p><b>An extraordinary work of fiction, from one of the world''s most exceptional writers.</b><br><br>The year is 1736 and five travellers are journeying across Exmoor on horseback, their purpose unknown. One evening they stop at a village inn for some rest and, soon after, hear that a man has been hanged nearby and that another is missing. What follows is a maze of beguiling paths and wrong turnings, rituals and revelations, unaccountable motives and cryptic deeds, as the mystery swerves towards a startling vision at its centre.<br><br>''This altogether admirable novel serves, as all literature should, the forces of subversion'' <b>Anthony Burgess, <i>Observer</i></b><br><br>''The reader is carried headlong into a maze of violent death, bizarre sex, disguise and terror'' <i>Sunday Times</i></p>
