À propos de ce contenu audio
Shortlisted for the British Book Awards, Richard and Judy Best Read of the Year, 2006.
A Richard & Judy Book Club Selection.
Joseph Vaughan's life has been dogged by tragedy. Growing up in the 1940s, he was at the centre of series of killings of young girls in his small rural community. The girls were taken, assaulted, and left horribly mutilated. Barely a teenager himself, Joseph becomes determined to try to protect his community and classmates from the predations of the killer.
But despite banding together with his friends as "Guardians", he was powerless to prevent more murders - and no one was ever caught. Only after a full ten years did the nightmare end when one of his neighbours is found hanging from a rope - with articles from the dead girls around him. Thankfully though, the killings finally ceased.
Ill-fortune was not yet done with Joseph, though, and in desperation, he leaves the town of his birth to forge a new life in New York. But the past won't leave him alone - for it seems that the real murderer still lives and is killing again. And the secret of his identity lies in Joseph's own history....
