Welcome to Litsy!

Also, somewhat confusingly, called The Upright Man, this is the second installment in Marshall's Straw Men trilogy, a weird but compelling mix of Cobenesque mystery/thriller and Kingish horror and adds a pinch of deep-level conspiracy theory to the stew for extra flavour. Maybe a bit too much tramping around in snowy woods for my personal taste, and a couple of detectives were surplus to requirements if we're being picky but hey.
