Martyn Bedford

When Ethan discovers that Chloe Fortune is a dowser and that her acute sixth sense allows her to locate anything she sets her mind on, they seem made for each other. But as they hunt their quarry, they close in on other truths: about themselves, about each other and about obsession itself.

I read this novel some years ago, but remember being blown away by it. It's a mystery to me why so few people know about this book. Martyn Bedford manages to write a complex novel with multi-layered characters and, at the same time, to have you on the edge ot the seat. In short: Very intense, great style, full of small observations and believable dialogue. The setting - the hills where the cat is said to wander - is beautiful and creepy. The main characters, Ethan and Chloe, are sympathetic, unconventional and able to surprise you, even when you think you know them.
