A Murder of Crows Phillip Kinnie

The body of a young girl discovered in a London park, an eventful pilgrimage on the El Camino de Santiago and a murder in an English village: A Murder Of Crows is a story of the intentional and unintentional intertwined lives of people caught in a trap of circumstances they thought they could control but are instead directed and driven to unexpected places by what seem to be random forces. Facing and admitting the truth proves to be a painful and deadly experience. John Bradford seeks meaning in his life and wonders what direction to take after university. His fiancee is not beset with such solicitude. Rather, she wants to enjoy any experience for what it is. This story explores the concept of subjectivity - 'doing the best we know how'. Too often it seems all roads lead to chaotic events both personal and in the world. Is there a better way or is it all just the assault of a random universe? In this story the answer may lie at the bottom of a cliff.
