The last thing he remembers is his helicopter being shot down over enemy territory. It appears that he is in a safe house, cared for by an elderly holy man and his niece, but how did Haldane get there? And who are these people really? ‘A Romeo and Juliet story, but one for an age where scientific materialism is crossing bloody swords with religion’. 7pm, Golden Hare Books, St Stephen Street, Stockbridge.
