Stonemouth is home to Stewart Gilmour.
Or at least it used to be, until an incident with the town’s biggest crime family forced him into exile. Now his presence is required at the funeral of patriarch Joe Murston, and even though the last time Stu saw the Murstons he was running for his life, staying away might be even more dangerous than turning up.
An estuary town north of Aberdeen, Stonemouth, with its five-mile beach, can be beautiful on a sunny day. On a bleak one it seems to offer little more than seafog, gangsters, cheap drugs and a suspension bridge irresistible to suicides. There’s supposed to be a truce, but it’s soon clear that only Stewart is taking this promise of peace seriously. A drop into the cold grey Stoun begins to look like the soft option. As he steps back into the minefield of his past to confront his guilt, and all that it has cost him, Stu’s homecoming takes a more lethal turn than even he had anticipated.
