Mona (Towards Zero)

In the novel Towards Zero, Mona is the former wife of Angus MacWhirter. After Angus lost his job, his wife became dissatisfied with him having nothing to do. She then left him for another man who had been Angus's friend. Angus tried to take his own life but by throwing himself off a cliff at Stark Head but was saved, when he was caught on a tree, albeit with injuries. After his recovery, he came again to Saltcreek to stay at the Easterhead Bay Hotel, near the scene of his attempted suicide, partly to see if he had gotten over Mona.
