Description
After thirty years at St Oswaldโs Grammar in North Yorkshire, Latin master Roy Straitley has seen all kinds of boys come and go. Each class has its clowns, its rebels, its underdogs, its โBrodieโ boys who, whilst of course he doesnโt have favourites, hold a special place in an old teacherโs heart. But every so often thereโs a boy who doesnโt fit the mould. A troublemaker. A boy with hidden shadows inside.With insolvency and academic failure looming, a new broom has arrived at the venerable school, bringing Powerpoint, sharp suits and even sixth form girls to the dusty corridors. But while Straitley does his sardonic best to resist this march to the future, a shadow from his past is stirring. A boy who even twenty years on haunts his teacherโs dreams. A boy capable of bad things. ISBN:9780552777025
