Samota je zlověstná a nebezpečná: místo na pobřeží Irského moře, které nese pečeť dávných dob a během staletí si vyžádalo desítky, ba stovky životů - zvířat i lidí. Písčiny na pobřeží jsou zrádné, příliv nenadálý, počasí věčně nevlídné. Právě do těchto končin v severní části hrabství Lancanshire přijíždí na jedny Velikonoce někdy v sedmdesátých letech minulého století vypravěč, jeho mentálně postižený bratr Hanny a skupinka věřících z jedné katolické farnosti na předměstí Londýna. Do kraje, z něhož pochází vypravěčova matka, jezdila skupinka pravidelně již s minulým knězem; po jeho smrti se sem vydávají znovu s knězem novým, a to v naději, že návštěva věkovité kaple v nehostinném kraji napomůže zázraku a Hanny se uzdraví. Poutníci však v kraji rozhodně nejsou vítáni - jsou svědky událostí, jejichž význam se jim ozřejmí až mnohem později. Samota je úžasný gotický thriller, skvěle vyprávěný a plný napětí.
