Robin Timariot has set out that morning on what he has planned as a six-day tramp along part of Offa's Dyke. At the close of his first day's walk he encounters an elegant middle-aged woman who seems strangely out of place among the sheep and gorse of Hergest Ridge. They exchange only a few words of conversation, but their talk is enigmatic -- and unforgettable. A few days later, at the end of his walk, Timariot returns home to learn from the newspapers that, just a few hours after their meeting, the woman, whose name was Louise Paxton, was raped and then murdered, along with an artist, Oscar Bantock, who lived near by. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA man is swiftly charged and convicted of the crime, but a string of inexplicable events begins to convince Timariot -- and others -- that all is not what it seems. Timariot, fascinated by Louise Paxton's memory, is drawn irresistibly into the complex motives and relationships of her family and friends, searching against his better judgement for the secret of what really happened on the day she died. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe closer he gets to the truth, the more hideous and uncertain it seems to be. And far too late he realizes that it may threaten many powerful people. So much so that anybody who uncovers it is unlikely to be allowed to live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385339223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.16w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2005 pg. 1205\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2005 pg. 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2005 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/12\/2006 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/20\/2006\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert Goddard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44848901193909,"sku":"9780385339223","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_9ff672df-82be-4d8b-ad68-3febb85b8796.jpg?v=1732634191","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/borrowed-time-9780385339223","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
