Dead from page 1, Shaun comes alive through a series of flashback chapters that tell the story of all that went before.

A charismatic young man, Shaun took on a precarious existence after university, living off good will and on sofas.  He is the wild-card of his group, instigator of heavy weekends and the first in the queue for a piss take. 

Until his death, Shaun served the masses in the bars of Manchester's Northern Quarter.  A friendly, offbeat kind of fellow, his death shocks many, although not all are stunned to place him in the role of stalker.
