    [synopsis] => A haunting story of need, exploitation and cruelty, set in the Victorian seas side town of Llandudno, North Wales.

Simon Barnsley Cartwright is a barrister, a conventionally successful man with a high local profile. Alice Louise Banks is a girl of nineteen, deep in a hole she cannot climb out of. They are also predator and victim. Both surveilled by a mysterious watcher...who relates the story from its beginning on a snow bound street to its climax high in the dark on Llandudno's Great Orme.

Llandudno is a dark place, full of foreboding - a Llandudno '...that visitors seldom see, and of which residents are only dimly aware...' A place where 'knots of girls as skinny as skeletons, pale as ghosts haunt shadowy recesses dressed only in rags and tatters.' Girls who have a desperate need. A need so severe they can't say no....no matter what is asked of them... A tale which is poignant and harrowing by turns, exploring the darker side of human nature.
