Overview: Scimitar follows the interlocking lives of three groups of people. It begins with the lives of two boys, Jack and Arthur, who both live in a northern mining town. When the two boys are thrown together attending the same school they become friends. Meanwhile another young man, Robert, is courting the love of his life, Kerry, and takes advantage of a warm summer evening to propose to her.
As time passes the boys grow apart. They are both clever and follow their school careers by going on to university. The young man and his wife settle into married life and eventually are blessed with the birth of a daughter. Time moves on inexorably until the lives of three of these people dramatically collide with horrendous consequences.
Another young boy, Daniel, is woken in the night by a noise but he can’t decide whether it is actually happening or if it’s part of a vivid dream. He recalls the dream in the morning but with it comes the conundrum of a remembered message. No matter how he tries, he can make no sense of it. A greeting on his friend’s calculator suddenly triggers his memory of the message and leads to its solution. But the solution, if it is a solution, is even more disconcerting than the original cryptic message.
Daniel is not prepared to believe that the messages are real and prefers to consign them to his dreams although he acts on the ‘advice’ he receives and eventually plucks up courage to talk to Sophie, a young girl in his class. They become friends and eventually she tells Daniel about her mother who was murdered when Sophie was very young. Daniel seems to be blessed with wisdom and understanding beyond his years and comforts her.
At university, Sophie meets Dr Jonathan, her course tutor. They share a passion for history and when her tutor offers to help her with her reading list she readily accepts. Circumstances begin to spiral out of control and eventually Daniel, despite his better judgement, is drawn into the situation. The voice in his head seems to have returned, as troubling as ever and, as last time time, Daniel acts on the advice he seems to be given.
