|aHal Robinson and Barry Gorman become fast friends when they first meet, when Barry rescues Hal, who has capsized the boat he was sailing. But they quarrel over a girl, and before they can make up, Barry dies in a motorcycle crash.
Whoever dies first, the other must dance on his grave. Aidan Chambers masterfully traces the relationship from friendship to overwhelming obsession in a commanding, ruthless, roller-coaster ride of narration.
