Book description
How can the mysterious disappearance of Anne Flint in 1816 and the
drowning of a young girl in a chalk stream so long ago possibly affect
the life of schoolteacher Harry Flint some two centuries later?
Having left his job and with a failed marriage behind him, Harry
begins to research his ancestors. The deeper he digs, the more he
realises that the past is closer than he had ever imagined.
The Haunting is a story of love and betrayal, intrigue and
murder. Where people are not what they seem, and the past is no more
predictable than the future....
