Book description
The dead should never be woken
Still grieving after the death of their young daughter Alice in a
frenzied dog attack, Patrick and Louise Daley leave the city to try
and find some peace in the Irish countryside, and the village of Wake
Wood seems like the perfect place to start again.
But the residents are guarding a terrifying secret: they can
resurrect the dead. However, the rules are strict, they will bring
Alice back only if she has been dead for less than a year; and, after
three days, she must be buried.
Desperate to see their daughter again, even for just three days, the
Daleys agree to everything. But they have been lying from the start.
And by the time the villagers realise, it's too late. Alice is alive
and she does not want to go back...
