| Plot Summary of Marks |
|---|
" .... three things happen to turn Somerset divorce detective George Hawkins' view of life upside down. On the same day that he witnesses a hit'n run, his house is burgled and his live-in girlfriend disappears. The police suspect him of hiding her body. As a psychological novel, this has the detective subsequently projecting his inner histories onto the puzzling events around him. While on another level 'Marks' becomes an historical novel, with its roots in the Japanese arena of WW2 and in post-War Japanese industrial success..."
