Originally published in Great Britain by Jonathan Cape and subsequently published in hardcover in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf in 2011

Tony Webster never thought much about his past -- until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. Tony thought he left this all behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world

Adapted into a motion picture of the same title in 2017
