"The sin no man can forgive. Adrian and Paul were together in the same Jap prison camp and the Japs tortured Adrian fiendishly. Near the end, they threw him in a ditch half filled with water and left him to rot.
Paul used to creep out nights and lie flat on the ground, stroking Adrian's battered head and moistening the swollen lips. In his last lucid moment Adrian told the story that he had kept so carefully secret, the torturing, cancerous story. Then he died.
Then the air raids came. Paul was badly injured when a bomb dump caught fire. After he recovered, he remembered the story. Adrian came to him in visions. And Paul promised to do what he felt he had to do. His bomb-shocked mind sent him on a mission which will chill you and hold you in the grip of haunting suspense." Goodreads.
