Don't go there . . . The new novel by the author of The House of Lost Souls is another masterpiece of suspense.
Brodmaw Bay seems to be the perfect refuge for James Greer and his family. When his young son is the victim of a brutal mugging, Greer wants to leave London - the sooner the better - for the charming old-fashioned fishing port he has just discovered.
But was finding Brodmaw Bay more than a happy accident? What is the connection between the village and his beautiful wife? When his friendly new neighbours say they'd welcome some new blood - in a village where the same families seem to have lived for generations - are they telling the whole truth
Perhaps the village isn't so much welcoming them as luring them. To something ancient and evil. As it has lured others before . . .
