Full Description
An ancient Bear Pit sits incongruously at the edge of a well used Park
in a part of Yorkshire which is slowly slipping from rural to suburban.
The site has no purpose today other than to guild a legend which has
been etched into the nightmares of local children and tests the bravery
of the local teenagers who dare to hang out near it as they waste away
their evenings.
When the lifeless body of a beautiful teenager is found at the bottom of
The Pit the whispered stories surrounding the site take on a whole new
depth of horror.
Jill Davis, a local teacher, didn't actually know Lucy Pennington (the
girl whose fate was sealed in The Pit) and yet she is swiftly trapped in
the drama of her death.
The only respite in the nightmare which faces Jill is meeting Detective
Inspector Michael Chapman who has returned to the North of England
following years in self imposed exile. Michael and Jill are inexplicably
drawn to each other despite a myriad of differences and complications
but will the depth of their connection help or hinder their shared
compulsion to unmask whoever, or whatever, killed Lucy?
In a story of legacy, control and influence relationships will be tested
to breaking point as Jill discovers the power of hearts which have been
scarred.
