Nothing much happens in the sleepy seaside town of Dynmouth. Or does it? Slowly and inexorably the narrative of intrigue and blackmail builds around a dysfunctional boy from the council estate and the respectable inhabitants whose secrets he knows. Intent on gathering props for an improbable sketch for the Summer Fete, Timothy calmly terrorises his victims and as the pages turn the reader is captured too. Has Trevor ever written a bad book? I don't think so.
