A haunting standalone mystery in The Ghosts of Alice series
“Yes, I can see ghosts,” she said.
“That’s why she told me to come here. Because you can help us. You can help grandad and me. You can help us defeat him.”
“Him?”
“Yes. Him. The Devil.”
A boy crosses the moors in a storm, begging Alice for help. But is he fleeing a ghost… or something far worse?
When a terrified boy appears on Alice Deaton’s doorstep, claiming he was sent by a ghost, she reluctantly agrees to follow him across the windswept moors to a lonely rectory. His grandfather, he insists, is being hunted by the Devil himself.
Alice doesn’t believe in the Devil — not literally. But she has seen things most people never would. And in that isolated house, she senses a darkness unlike anything she’s encountered before.
Who — or what — is tormenting the old man? How does the boy seem to know about Alice’s abilities? And what horror waits in the shadows of the rectory overlooking the moors?
As the storm closes in, Alice must confront a malevolent force that may finally push her strange gift beyond its limits.
