Robert Matthews is a battle weary Police Sergeant in Southend on Sea, a busy seaside town in the Thames corridor and has become drained by the violence and high crime rate that prevail. However, when people start dropping dead around him he pursues the possibility of a bizarre connection. Very soon he is asking not only who, but why and, more especially, why me? These traumatic incidents soon begin to overlap with escalating events in his private life which drag him downwards into a spiral of despair.

Peter Norman finds the uncanny in the everyday. His poems surprise you, making you laugh and weep (sometimes simultaneously) with recognition at the fleeting spark of existence. Like archaeological sites between the strum und drang of our daily dramas, Norman's poems excavate playgrounds freshly vacated, graves until recently inhabited, basements and dark corners where life and death go on without us. They present us with a world that lives and breathes and endures, where we are simply transitory visitors.
