Description
'Brimming with suspense and ghostly apparitions, Spring's scorching thriller moves at a cracking pace and has a stunning twist' Lancashire Evening Post
'Don't expect to breathe easily until the last page has turned' Pendle Today
Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness has remained empty for years. Its dark history and rumours of hauntings - and worse - have scared all prospective buyers away. But estate agent Clara desperately needs to make this sale if she is to keep her job and stay one step ahead of her abusive husband. Maybe an 'innocent' fire will force the price down?
Then the perfect crime turns into the perfect nightmare: there was a witness to the fire, a stranger in the village, and he's not going to let Clara get away with her 'victimless' crime that easily...
From the bestselling author of The Ghost Hunters, The Watchers and The Lost Village, comes a tense and claustrophobic psychological thriller based on a true story.
