It's illegal to be eighteen and a gay man in 1983 in the UK - well if you're planning to have sex before you're 21. Stolid is a man who remembers being young and doesn't tell even his best friends his real name because he has the ambition to be Stolid - calm and showing little emotion. But when he grows older and tragedy strikes the world becomes too much. One evening he runs away, hitchhikes and is picked up by a man who claims to know him. He's taken to an empty place at night. He can escape but chooses not to. The stranger's motives are obscure but it turns out Stolid is his own worst enemy. The man convinces Stolid he does know him as they exchange memories and the evening grows mysterious. Buy now to find out if Stolid survives the night (This book can be enjoyed without the rest of the series as it is self-contained, although it adds to the series.)
