''Spine-tingling'' Barbara Erskine

''Like something from Emily Bronte''s nightmares'' Andrew Taylor

A gothic tale from the wild Yorkshire moors, to haunt your imagination and chill you to the bone...

Maybe you''ve heard tales about Scarcross Hall, the house on the old coffin path that winds from village to moor top. They say there''s something up here, something evil.

Mercy Booth isn''t afraid. The moors and Scarcross are her home and lifeblood. But, beneath her certainty, small things are beginning to trouble her. Three ancient coins missing from her father''s study, the shadowy figure out by the gatepost, an unshakeable sense that someone is watching.

When a stranger appears seeking work, Mercy reluctantly takes him in. As their stories entwine, this man will change everything. She just can''t see it yet.
