Ghastly new home. Potentially adulterous husband…. Not quite the fresh start in the country she was promised. A fixer-upper in the sticks was the last place city girl Ro Skews expected to live. But her husband, Marcus, wants it—and all the arguments are on his side, namely a better life for Tod, their wonderboy, who has developed social problems in London. Of course, the five-year-old has never been the most…conventional child. While Ro (grudgingly) makes a life for herself in stuffy Chetsley (if you can count suffering the side effects of floor sanding and playing Suburban Lawn Warfare with her sexy neighbor as a life), Marcus starts spending more nights in the city with his cell phone switched off. And Tod, whose fascination with mazes seems to have blossomed into a full-blown obsession, treads the worrying line between eccentric and problematic. Ro searches for the right path in a few mazes of her own—her marriage, motherhood, country customs—but when she unearths a shattering secret, more than one truth is revealed and Ro is left wondering: Is the country any place to raise a family?

Set in Manchester, England, in the 1960s, Horatio Farquhar (or FQ as he was known) was asked by his boss to review a possible case of copyright infringement not long after he had graduated from Oxford University with a law degree. Their clients were two young and prominent songwriters. After completing his review of the case, the songwriters took the report prepared by the young barrister to a London-based barrister. The original work was not paid for, and FQs boss financially penalised Farquhar. The songwriters were very successful in their subsequent prosecution of the transgressors. Some forty years later, Sir Horatio Farquhar on nearing retirement dreamt up an audacious and elaborate scheme in order to exact revenge on the songwriters using modern day technology. His intention is to not only punish the sexagenarian songwriters, but to also provide a sizeable fund for his retirement.
