"And Heather? He didn't have a plan about her, either, unless getting badly out of his depth was it. Last night he'd dreamed again about the time he'd nearly drowned when he was a boy, wading in some big river in France. Afterwards he'd lain half-awake, still trapped in the terror of that moment, when the river bed was suddenly not there, and the powerful current was beginning to carry him away."
Lisbon, 2019. Divorced loner Ralph Thompson has long given up on romance, and has settled for eking out a cautious existence as a middle-aged schoolteacher with no ties or emotional entanglements.
But when an attractive, troubled housewife crashes into his car in a supermarket car park, he is drawn out of his shell, and finds himself involved in another person's life again.
The problem is, Heather Ribeiro's life also includes her husband, a jealous, abusive and dangerous police detective - and as Heather and Ralph's slow-burning relationship develops, it gradually becomes clear that they are heading for bad trouble.
