Publisher's Summary

Social drama meets rite of passage and the supernatural in Guilt, a riveting psychological thriller set in 1962 small-town England. It's a time of class consciousness and jobs for life, where a man is defined by his work and the Aldermaston march is imminent.

After a night of heavy rain, four teenage boys meet in the Roman camp: middle-class Brock; Red, whose working-class family has upwardly-mobile aspirations; Mouth, the scraplad; and Raggy, the deaf simpleton. They decide to go down the flooded riverside fields to see what they can shoot.

When the four meet Shack, the local gamekeeper, he advises the boys to treat the landscape with respect, or the vengeance of the Wild Man - the local supernatural guardian - will be unleashed. Heedless of the man's warnings, the four proceed with their plans.

Death soon follows, and one by one, they all have to face their demons - and the guilt that is swallowing them whole. But, down by the river, ancient forces are stirring as the spirit of the Wild Man awakens.
