As life slips away, Gabriel looks back over his brief twenty years that
have been clouded by frustration and humiliation. A small town and
distant parents ensure that he is never allowed to forget the horrific
mistake he made as a child. He has only two friends - his dog Surrender,
and the unruly wild boy Finnigan, with whom he made a boyhood pact. When
a series of arson attacks grips the town, Gabriel realises how
unpredictable and dangerous Finnigan is. Events begin to spiral out of
control, and it becomes clear that only the most extreme of measures
will rid Gabriel of Finnigan for good. Dark and tender, Surrender is a
brilliantly told suspense novel.
