More Description

Dr Jack Woodbridge is having a bad day and it's not even lunchtime. He's fighting a hangover due to breaking up with his married lover while also supervising an archaeological dig on the site of old Saint Giles church in the Fenland village of Drayton-under-Marsh. What's worse, it's also being filmed by a television programme that has a really irritating presenter. However, when he breaks into an old crypt, he discovers a sealed box that contains the diary of a man who visited Drayton-under-Marsh just before the start of the English Civil War. Jack discovers that he has some things in common with the writer, but the diary writer wants to do more than tell his story. From the author of Ashwood House and The Listening Post comes a ghost story novella (approx 26,000 words) that shows no matter now deep you bury secrets, they have a habit of resurfacing.
