Two brothers elude a press witchhunt by hiding out in the remote wilds of highland Scotland. One of them is a murderer. But it's the other you have to watch out for... Daniel Shand's brilliant debut is at once a tense psychological thriller, and an unreliable narrative of unsettling force. Fallow heralds the arrival of a startling new talent in literary fiction. PRAISE FOR FALLOW "A brilliant, unpredictable road novel, curdled through with a unique descriptive lyricism" Alan Warner "Concerned with the complexity of feeling, the tensions between the brothers - joined together by guilt, resentment, fear and need... Shand coolly presents us with the disintegration of a personality... with considerable skill and daring" The Scotsman "A tense and suspenseful road trip to damnation" Sunday Herald "A road trip, a modern Biblical parable, and a tense psychological thriller with echoes of Cormac McCarthy" Joanne Harris
