About this book

20th Anniversary Edition

Nobody in Preston could remember when the watertower was built, or who had built it, but there it stood on Shooter’s Hill- its iron legs rusted, its egg-shaped tank warped and leaking- casting a long dark shadow across the valley, across Preston itself.

Brand: Gary Crew
