For a group of ex-comrades, it is to be the reunion to end all reunions: a weekend in the Scottish castle where they were guinea pigs in a psychological experiment many years before. They haven’t seen each other since. But the convivial atmosphere on the journey north is quickly shattered by the apparent suicide of one of their party. When a second death occurs, a sense of forboding descends on the group. It appears that the past is coming back to haunt them, a past that none of them have ever spoken about. Their recollections are all frighteningly different. So what really happened? Then when one of them uncovers an extraordinary secret, he becomes convinced that they will never leave the castle alive…

Published in 2006, this is the story of a group of ex-RAF National Servicemen who meet for a reunion at a Scottish castle where, 50 years earlier, they were guinea pigs in a psychological experiment to see if young men of working-class backgrounds, with limited schooling and in some trouble with the authorities could benefit from formal learning. The amiable atmosphere of the journey to the reunion is shattered when one of them apparently commits suicide on the train, after having uttered some cryptic remarks to the main character, Harry Barnett. Soon more deaths occur, the police get involved and before he knows it Harry and his old friend and one-time business partner, Barry, find themselves under suspicion. It’s an interesting plot with a good ending. Worth reading.
