Description: The Ground Remembers is a dark, suburban myth about love, jealousy, shame and the things we cannot throw away. When Helen Murray disappeared on her eighteenth birthday ten years ago, most on the Avenue blamed Edwin and Phillip. Edwin stayed and numbed himself. Phillip ran as far as he could. On the morning of this tenth anniversary however, Edwin makes a remarkable discovery and with a letter in his hand, and dirt still fresh beneath his fingernails sets out on a journey to find Phillip and the truth. As Edwin hunts down Philip, his quarry sits and drinks at the same pub seat he has for the last ten years fully aware that Edwin is coming for him. Matthews debut novel Playing Mercy was published by Parthian Books in May 2005 and has been optioned by 11:22 Entertainment for whom Matthew is in the process of adapting the novel for the screen. It was also listed as one of the fourteen works vying for the 2006 International Dylan Thomas Prize
