James begins to fall for the beautiful Jessica, and is soon at the heart of a fatal love triangle with the reckless leader of the group, Francis. When a volatile relationship explodes, the Night Climbers' funding suddenly dries up, until Francis dreams up a heist that will secure them millions, but will test their souls.
James, a first-year student at Cambridge, is overwhelmed by the thrill of opportunity and startled by his own hunger for friendship. He finds himself seduced by a covert and exclusive circle of friends - the 'Tudor Night Climbers' - who scale the university's turrets after dark, transforming it into a dangerous playground of spiralling heights. When still only a novice member of his tribe, James begins to fall for the only female in the group, the enigmatic and beautiful Jessica, and is soon at the heart of a fatal love triangle with the reckless and charismatic leader of the group, Francis. When a volatile relationship finally explodes, the Night Climbers' funding suddenly dries up, until Francis dreams up a heist that will secure them millions, but will also test their very souls. Partly inspired by the original "Night Climbers" of the Sixties who famously made dare-devil leaps from college roofs, this passionate exploration of youth at its most vital and unstable marks the debut of a strikingly gifted new writer.

Ivo Stourton was born in 1982 and read English at Cambridge. He is the son of Radio Four Today presenter Ed Stourton, and is at work on a second novel. He lives in London.
