This is a short story about a chance meeting between two men on Edinburgh's Salisbury Crags during an overcast November afternoon and which indirectly leads them on a trail of revenge, taking them into some dark (literally and metaphorically speaking) places, jeopardising their physical health as well as their very souls!This state of affairs is brought about by the untimely suicide of one of the men's son some seventeen years previously which incidentally causes them to form an enduring friendship and sets them off on a voyage of discovery, both about the world and themselves, and resulting in them finding themselves in places they would rather not be in, and with people (some of whom) they would rather not be with.
