When Daniel finally becomes accustomed to the changes in his life since his brother Timon's death six years earlier, his brother reappears and Daniel is plunged into a world of intrigue and danger as he tries to unravel the mystery surrounding Timon's demise.
I'm an academic and writer, currently working as Professor of English Literature at Cardiff University, though living in Bristol, where I've been based since 1990.
I have published numerous books, including children's and young-adult fiction and literary criticism, some under the name Charles Butler.
I finished the book in two sittings. It was really difficult to figure out the relationship between the two brothers. While sometimes it would be brotherly love where Timon would be acting like an older brother and trying to save Daniel, at other times pushing him to danger. It was a great book though.
