The war is over, and the little village of Coney Cley is bereft of all excitement - at least, that's what Josh and his sister Jinty think. Then they venture down an abandoned lane and see a ghostly face at the window of a deserted houseEL But there are more shocks in store for the children when they discover that the 'skull' is an escaped prisoner of war, and he's not the only hidden secret in their village. A gripping and accessible thriller from the author of Room 13 and Stone Cold.
