Summary
When a brutally murdered man is found hanging in a Covent Garden theatre, Detective Sergeant Rex King becomes obsessed with the case. But as Rex explores the crime scene further, he finds himself confronting his own secret history instead.
Moving from Holborn Police Station, to an abandoned village in rural, 1980s France, and the Battle of the Beanfield at Stonehenge, The Fountain in the Forestis both a thrilling crime mystery and a dizzyingly unique novel of unparalleled ambition.

Times Literary Supplement
Critic Reviews
