"Can one ever escape the claims of a troubled past, and how does one act when those claims demand a final answer? In David Brewerton's compelling new novel, Jack (or should it be Jacques?) Boyer is drawn from his retreat as a loner on a boat moored in the Essex marshes into a reluctant confrontation with these life-defining questions. The search for answers takes him deeply back to the post-war East End of his youth and on into the challenges of an uncertain future. With its sharply observed cast of unusual characters and its vividly evoked locations, this intriguing mystery story also unfolds a moving drama of self-discovery.”
Lindsay Clarke, Award Winning Author
“An absorbing story about the way the past never truly lets us go and is seldom quite what we remember. The characters spring vividly to life and the settings are beautifully evoked. Dancing to Domino will remain in the readers’ mind long after the last page has been turned.”
Mike Walker, Author of ‘The Epic of Tumanbay’
