Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and I don't intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through. Frank, no ordinary 16-year-old, lives with his father outside a remote Scottish village. Their life is, to say the least, unconventional. His father measures out his eccentricities on an imperial scale and Frank has turned to strange acts of violence to vent his frustrations.
