About the Book:
Edward Carter is a bully of a man, who instils fear in the hearts of all who meet him.
After years under her husband’s reign of terror, Adam Carter’s mother is too cowed to protect herself or her son. Adam is twelve years old, bright and caring, but without friends or self-confidence he’s all alone. His only support is Phil Wallis, the school bus driver.
One afternoon, Phil makes a life-changing decision – to accompany Adam along the darkening woodland lane to his house.
But, a terrible tragedy is unfolding in the house at the end of the track, and it is one that will bind them together forever.
