Kasdeja's ChildrenJanus Publishing Company Lim, 2005 - 533 עמודים At 21, Greg Lessing is already hurtling towards mid-life crisis. A loner by nature, he is a misfit in Whitehall with no serious career prospects. Fraught office relationships mirror life at home, where endless arguments and the chronic pain of a childhood injury combine to weigh down his spirits. Only his passion for progressive rock music and a quiet bar in the West End of London called Club Cramatchs seem to provide him with any true comfort, but the sanctity of his refuge is suddenly called into question when he discovers a possible link between the Club's owners and a number of high-profile attacks on Catholic churches. With Greg unwittingly finding himself a suspect in the police investigation, things deteriorate still further when he encounters several mysterious and enigmatic characters that no one else seems able to see. Fearing for his sanity, Greg's efforts to clear his name lead him to Dormin Manor, a seventeenth century country house with a highly controversial purpose. From there, the complex puzzle that begins to unravel suggests that the echoes of a terrible injustice from hundreds of years ago may still be reverberating in the events of the present.With different factions each contesting his favour, Greg can't help but feel there is something familiar about the characters involved and one burning question continues to haunt his every move. Is anyone ever really gone? Drawing on a rich mixture of historical events and traditional folklore Kasdeja's Children is a fast-paced, intricately plotted thriller with a supernatural twist that provides a timely reminder of the evil of religious intolerance. |
