Description: "Corby, the industrial new town built around a vast steel works, draws many to the fires of its furnaces - in the hope of steady work, a better house, a fresh start. Among them are Francis Cameron, from Scotland, and his friend Jan Ruckert, the son of Latvian refugees. Though very different they are both outsiders; alienated, intelligent and curious, they form a strong and lasting bond: two teenage boys finding their feet in a foreign place. But violence hangs in the Corby air like the ash and the stench from the steel works, and when it comes down it is sudden and lethal - with repercussions that will last a lifetime."--BOOK JACKET.
