Mr. Lynch's holiday

the long version

It is retired bus driver and recent widower Dermot Lynch's first time in Spain and his first time out of Birmingham in many years. Arriving at the gates of a crumbling development, Dermot learns that his son Eamonn, one of a handful of settlers in the half-finished ghost town of Lomaverde, has fallen prey to an alluring vision. Soon Dermot is the center of attention in the tiny group of expats. And as happenings in Lomaverde take a strange turn, father and son uncover a shocking secret at the heart of this ad hoc community.
