An ever-morphing story, tightening its grip as it expands, this novel melds the psychological and philosophical.

The most startling thing about my teenage years was the incident in which I took Lucas to his Uncle Raymond's room in the asylum. Things happened on that day that do not compute. They are false. And it's not for me to tell you what to think. It's for me to tell you to think.\u003ci\u003eFind Mr Latham.

What is seen above the waters is as important as what lurks below. Mathew is happy to leave us guessing about right and wrong\/good and bad in a paradoxical world where the fellowship and ethics of 'life on the street' are contrasted with the drive to carry out 'good' academic research. Surely, mothers, lovers, au pairs and biscuit manufacturers don't really behave like this ... or do they?
