'Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and don't intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through.' Enter - if you can bear it - the extraordinary private world of Frank, just sixteen, and unconventional, to say the least.

Frank is a troubled sixteen year old who has a history of destructive behaviour and a callous personality. He lives on a small island with his father and has a lot of time to indulge his disturbing daily routines. It is near impossible to relate to Frank, but the interest of this book lies in trying to make sense of his actions and to figure out who on the island suspects or knows how capable of violence he is.
