Clare Lacey is on a quest. In Ireland to attend an Art History\nconference, she sets out to find her father who walked out one day\nto buy a pack of cigarettes when she was a child, and disappeared.\nShe is urged on her way by chance encounters: with a woman in a\nhigh tower, a blind man at a crossroads, a couple of rotund\nearthlings, a singer whose song she does not understand … Clues\nlie all around on a labyrinth of walls - but the final clue lies\ndeep within. With Irish roots and a nod to the Irish classic, The\nYear of the Hiker by John B. Keane, this is a contemporary novel\nabout inheritance, belief, art, love … and limestone.
