Book description
Walwyk seemed a dream village to the new schoolteacher, Miss
Mayfield. But dreams can change into nightmares...
When one of her students accuses his friend Ethel's grandmother of
abusing her, Miss Mayfield cannot let it go. But Ethel won't say
anything, despite the evidence of Miss Mayfield's own eyes. But as she
attempts to get to the truth of the matter, she stumbles on something
far more sinister. Walwyk seems to be in the grip of a centuries-old
evil, and anybody who questions events in the village does not last
long.
Death stalks more than one victim, and Miss Mayfield begins to
realise that if she's not careful, she will be the next to die...
