Synopsis:
The quiet English market town of Mickleburgh knows very little serious crime, and local solicitor Oliver Foxton’s days are occupied with wills, conveyancing, and the occasional drunk and disorderly. The outlying villages of Winbury, where he lives with wife Sarah, and Deerton, home of their friends the Stewarts, seem like rural havens.
So when four local schoolboys go on the rampage in Deerton and commit an astonishingly needless act of violence, the lives of the Foxtons and the Stewarts are shattered. Attempting to come to terms with what has happened to his friends, Oliver immerses himself in the renovation of an old dolls’ house belonging to his friend prudence Wilmot, a local author, but finds that the doll inhabitants increasingly become a symbol of his own troubled marriage and the tensions the tragedy has sparked within it.
Meanwhile, the schoolboys who merely witnessed the violence come under pressure from their parents and the police to name the guilty party, and they must wrestle with both misguided loyalty and a fear of reprisals, as gradually the police build their case. And all the time another hidden menace lurks in the background, as a released murderer, living near by, is enthralled by the crime - and, practicing as a counselor, stands poised to offer help…
Unblinkingly addressing the issues of today, Margaret Yorke has written a novel of chilling realism and once more proved herself the mistress of suspense.
