It was midsummer when we first found the body. Martin was twelve then I wasnine and the man we discovered could have been no older than the combinedtotal of our years. He wore a green uniform and there was a thin scar down oneside of his face. He reminded me of my brother. Who is the bible salesman thatarrives to the accompaniment of thunderstorms? Why do mysterious figures hauntsthe ruins on the outskirts of the city? What is the meaning of the prophecygiven by the woman in the lunatic asylum? Updating the form of the gothicnovel Blowing Hot and Cold tells the story of Martin a child growing upthough a long and futile war. Told from the viewpoint of five differentnarrators both the story of his life and the society he lives in is graduallypieced together. In the process a picture emerges of a world in which dreamsmadness and delusion are the only possible responses to the events that areunfolding. httpwww.petercampbellbooks.com «
