Someone Else's Conflict by Alison Layland

Jay has been roaming rootless for years until one morning he arrives in a small Yorkshire Dales town and sees a face in the crowd which takes him back to the best and worst times of his life. In the aftermath of a failed affair, Marilyn is rebuilding her life and her barn when a lightning storm threatens to ruin everything. Should she trust Jay is who he says he is, even when he is economical with the truth? When he disappears running after an immigrant pickpocket, Marilyn is visited by the police with a tale of murder; should she keep quiet about her doubts?
Alison Layland grew up in Bradford and finally settled in mid-Wales where she has been living with her husband and two children. After studying Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at Trinity College, Cambridge, she was a chartered surveyor before returning to her first love, languages. She was Welsh Learner of the Year in 1999 and in 2001 won the short story competition at the National Eisteddfod. Her published translations include the acclaimed novel The Colour of Dawn by Haitian author Yanick Lahens.
