"'Somebody!' I half-sob and then, more quietly, 'Please.' The words seem absorbed by the afternoon heat, lost amongst the trees. In their aftermath, the silence descends again. I know then that I'm not going anywhere... i> ean is on the run. We don't know why and we don't know from whom, but we do know he's abandoned his battered, blood-stained car in the middle of a sweltering, isolated, lonely part of rural France. Desperate to avoid the police, he takes to the hedgerows and country lanes only to be caught in the vicious jaws of a trap. Near unconscious from pain and loss of blood, he is freed and taken in by two women - the daughters of the owner of a rundown local farm with its ramshackle barn, blighted vineyard and the brooding lake. And it's then that Sean's problems really start... Superbly written, Stone Bruises is a classic nail-shredder of a thriller that holds you from the beginning and slowly, inexorably tightens its grip as the story unfurls and keeps you guessing until the unnerving and shocking final twist..."

It's a frustrating book to read, it kept going from France to London and back again. Sean is on the run but why? You don't know what crime was committed By him. Sean was found in the French countryside bleeding and drifting in and out of consciousness after he walks into a bear trap hidden in the farm. After recovering he finds himself working on the farm. The family who lives on the family with their cruel Father are weird and carry dark secrets of their own. I found this book a little messy to read.
