Love never dies in this novel by a writer of addictive emotional thrillers (The Independent).
Told from three perspectives, A Particular Man is about love, truth and the unpredictable consequences of loss.
When Edgar dies in a Far East prisoner of war camp it breaks the heart of fellow prisoner Starling. In Edgar's final moments, Starling makes him a promise. When, after the war, he visits Edgar's family to fulfil this promise, Edgar's mother Clementine mistakes him for another man.
Her mistake allows him access to Edgar's home and to those who loved him, stirring powerful and disorientating emotions, and embroiling him in a web of deceit.
The loss has driven his sister Aida to seek solace in the arms of a series of men - but the meeting with Starling sparks a powerful and complex connection, fuelled by their mutual longing for Edgar.
Meanwhile Clementine, also grieving for Edgar, has secrets of her own...
