The Cursing Stone: A Gripping Mystery and Family Saga

by Adrian Harvey

Overview

Finding yourself is the biggest adventure of all.

Oh come now, Mr Buchanan. When one goes out into the world, one always ends up smelling of something or other.

Fergus Buchanan has led a charmed life: a doting family, a loving sweetheart and the respect of his neighbours. All is as it should be, and nothing stands between him and the limitless happiness of his destiny.

But when he is sent from his remote island to retrieve the cursing stone, his adventures in the wild world beyond cause him to question everything he thought he knew.

Succeed or fail, nothing will be the same again . . .

This modern quest is a story of courage, duty, and revenge.

About the Author

Since escaping the East Midlands for the lights of the big city, Adrian Harvey has combined a career in and around government with trying to see as much of the world as he can. He has a particular love for cities and the patina of centuries that lie beneath their ever-changing surface. The stories that hang between the past and the future, or in a chance encounter on the city street, are a continual source of inspiration. He can often be found transfixed, staring along a street with an unexpected vista. Landscape outside the city inspires him too. He is a keen hill walker and has undertaken extended routes in the Himalaya, the Andes, and in Iceland, as well as regular trips to the damp and windy upland areas of the United Kingdom. He also enjoys warmer travel, with a particular fondness for India. He retains a relentless curiosity for the world. He lives in North London, which he believes to be the finest corner of the world's greatest city. He has written three novels: Being Someone, The Cursing Stone, and Time's Tide.
