Author's third book of fiction. A haunting tale of love, mystery and revenge set in the Scottish Borders, re-enacting traditional ballads such as "Twa Corbies", and "Barbara Allen". In an early author's statement, Greig asserted his sense of a movement "away from naturalism and the physical world to the emotional and mental worlds behind the everyday" (Writers in Brief No. 10).
