Amy watched as Malcolm stared back at his father with a look of naked hostility. Malcolm wouldn’t be nine years old forever, she reflected. He wouldn’t always be smaller than his father. She studied Malcolm’s expression more closely, and a cold knot formed in the pit of her stomach as she realised that Malcolm was thinking exactly the same thing.

Amy watches in growing fear the worsening confrontation between her husband and her son, until she realises that only one of them can survive it. How long can she keep them apart?

Settling the Account is the final book in the three-volume saga Promises to Keep. It follows directly on from Book Two, Mud and Gold.

There was something oddly familiar about this man; something in his easy smile and the set of his head. Something that made her feel uneasy. As if aware of her scrutiny, the man glanced over the head of the woman in front of him and looked straight at Amy. She saw his smile waver, to be replaced by a puzzled expression. Then his eyes widened, and his mouth opened to shape a single word: ‘Amy’. She saw him exchange a few quick words with the people around him; clearly making his excuses before moving towards her. Amy’s mouth was dry. She stared about the room, looking for a means of escape, but before she had taken more than a step or two towards the nearest door he had crossed the space between them and stood before her. ‘My God, Amy! It is you!’ said Jimmy. A Second Chance is the sequel to Parkinson’s first novel, Promises to Keep.
