Little did Stephen Thornycroft realise when he chose to help Susan Grey that within just a few days he would become entangled in a catalogue of horrifying events that would ultimately leave his survival in the balance. As fate intervened, bringing Stephen and Susan together, they realised that the network of evil confronting them was not only brutal but inexorably closing in on them. It was only a matter of time before they had to accept there could be no escape; that there could be no turning back from the terrifying responsibilities they faced. A compelling read that leaves you wondering - what if? It's a real cliffhanger. S.H.M. A book I was unable to put down. S.F.L. The suspense is almost unbearable. C.W. This is an extremely profound and poignant read; could it be foretelling the future? I found it gripping. R.A.O.G.
