David's best mate died falling off a cliff - and he was the last to see him alive. Fifteen years later, he returns to Arbroath, where another death forces him to face the past.A darkly funny, gripping debut from one of Scotland's finest writers - newly reissued. ANNIVERSARY EDITION INTRODUCTION BY CHRISTOPHER BROOKMYRE Your best mate just fell off a cliff in mysterious circumstances. You were the last person to see him alive. What do you do? If you're David Lindsay from Arbroath, you leg it - and don't go back. Not for fifteen years. Then Nicola Cruickshank - yes, that Nicola, the girl you always fancied but never had the guts to speak to - gets in touch. She wants you back for a school reunion. At the very place it happened. Of course you say yes. Not to lay ghosts to rest, but because you still fancy Nicola. The thing is, if you are David Lindsay, then returning to Arbroath isn't going to bring closure. Because when someone else tumbles off the cliffs - an act the locals now call tombstoning - David has a choice: run away again, or finally find out why people around him keep dying... _____
