The Camel Trail By Peter J. Merrigan



The story of a family on the edge, and another not far behind. Sarah Catchpole was raped and beaten by her own husband one too many times. When her young son, Kevin, calls the police one night, Frankie is finally sent to prison. Starting life afresh in the sleepy town of Padstow, Cornwall, Sarah and Kevin meet their new neighbours and their son, Martin, suffering from muscular dystrophy, almost wheelchair-bound but ever hopeful of being able to walk unaided the full length of The Camel Trail, an eleven-mile stretch of scenic path in Cornwall.

But when Frankie is released from prison and tracks them down, the unrelenting chase that ensues is a race against time before Martin’s condition deteriorates. With Kevin and Martin missing, Sarah and Martin’s parents are plunged headlong into a fight for their boys and, ultimately, for their own redemption.
