Jawbone Lake

From the author of Electricity and Forgetting Zoe, comes a thought-provoking, beautifully written and taut thriller. A young woman stands on the shore of a frozen lake and watches a Land Rover crash off the bridge wall and into the ice. Two hundred miles away, a young man is woken by a devastating telephone call.

Ray Robinson, an award-winning short-story writer, novelist and screenwriter, first won attention in 2006 with his debut novel, Electricity, which was shortlisted for both the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Authors' Club First Novel Award.
