Description
"When an Antarctic research expedition goes wrong, the consequences are far-reaching - for the men involved and for their families back home. Robert "Doc" Wright, a veteran of Antarctic field work, holds the clues to what happened, but he is no longer able to communicate them. While Anna, his wife, navigates the sharp contours of her new life as a carer, Robert is forced to learn a whole new way to be in the world."--Publisher.

Description
A man's body is found in an abandoned apartment. His friends look on-victims of heroin addiction. Hidden in the shadows they keep vigil as the hours pass, paying homage to a friend whose body is taken away. Piece by broken piece, their stories are laid out-lives fallen through the cracks, hopes fl aring and dying, love overwhelmed by a stronger need, and the havoc wrought by drugs, distress, and the disregard of the wider world.
