Surrender is a mesmerizing psychological thriller from extraordinary novelist Sonya Hartnett.
As events begin to spiral violently out of control, it becomes devastatingly clear that only the most extreme measures will rid Gabriel of Finnigan for good..
But when a series of arson attacks grips the town, Gabriel realizes how unpredictable and dangerous Finnigan is.
He has only two friends - his dog, Surrender, and the unruly wild boy, Finnigan, a shadowy doppelganger with whom the meek Gabriel once made a boyhood pact.
A small, unforgiving town and distant, punitive parents ensure that he is never allowed to forget the horrific mistake he made as a child.
As life slips away, Gabriel looks back over his brief twenty years, which have been clouded by frustration and humiliation.
But the sound of it is the only beautiful thing about it.
Like the long slow sigh of a cello: dying.
I am dying: it\'s a beautiful word.
