The Ground Remembers

Matthew David Scott

Static electricity sparks through this unsettling story of something unresolved … (Scott) has given us a modern redemptionist novel that rewards the reader like a good book should.

Western Mail

The Ground Remembers is a dark, suburban myth about love, jealousy, shame and the things we cannot throw away.

When Helen Murray disappeared on her eighteenth birthday ten years ago,most on the Avenue blamed Edwin and Phillip. Edwin stayed and numbed himself. Phillip ran as far as he could.

On the morning of this tenth anniversary however, Edwin makes a remarkable discovery and with a letter in his hand, and dirt still fresh beneath his fingernails sets out on a journey to find Phillip and the truth.

As Edwin hunts down Philip, his quarry sits and drinks at the same pub seat he has for the last ten years fully aware that Edwin is coming for him.
