Four university friends visit Jerusalem and return home sharing a secret which will change their lives and those under their
influence. After his father’s death, and before taking up his own place at university in Edinburgh, the son of one of the four finds
himself at the centre of a dangerous quest. Evil swirls aroundhim as he encounters a mystical ferryman with superhuman
strength, a strikingly beautiful girl who befriends him, his father’s contemporaries who he meets for the first time, and a
professional assassin employed by one of them to kill him. In a race against time, and in his naivety unable clearly to distinguish
between friend and foe, he receives his father’s sole legacy, a box apparently only containing a candle. The quest takes him
to Jerusalem and Southern France; to Whitby, the Hebrides, Walsingham and the Norfolk salt marshes. ‘Something almost
lost to the world remains’.
