A Flat Patch of Grass

Drama written by Muriel Gray. A child psychologist investigates the strange case of a ten-year-old boy who firebombed the home of an elderly neighbour.

What has caused a ten-year-old boy to firebomb the home of his elderly, house-bound neighbour?

Child psychologist Vivienne McKay has never seen a case like it: the boy, Neville, is from an ordinary loving family and has never been in trouble before. The police have one clue to go on, a name, Razbunare, the only thing the boy will tell them. As they question Eastern Europeans working on local farms, Vivienne slowly gains Neville's trust. But nothing in her training or experience prepares her for what he eventually reveals about what led him to commit such a terrible crime.
