Description
Yorkshire, England, AD 1328. Winter.
Lady Isabella de Courcy is found alone, in a room bolted from the inside, unconscious, and injured. Pinned to her is a note bearing a shocking statement of intent, but this is just the latest in a line of similar, terrifying events.
For months now Croftun Manor has apparently been stalked by a shadowy figure who leaves little trace of their movements and has never been clearly seen by anyone, even Isabella... Some suggest the lady is harming herself, while others believe a sadistic demon must be behind it all.
As more incidents occur and fear builds within the manor, can the bailiff, John Little, along with his friend - the legendary friar, Robert Stafford - uncover the truth? And more importantly, will they be able to help the troubled young woman before she ends up dead?
This fast-paced standalone winter tale from the author of Wolf's Head sees the return of two much-loved characters and is based on a shocking real-life stalking case from the 1980's which remains unsolved to this day. Faces of Darkness is the perfect winter story for true crime and historical fiction fans.
"A gem of a story... Faces of Darkness offers an intriguing plot based around a real life event... add in the perfect pace and you've got a winner!" 5/5 - David's Book Blurg
"There were several points where I thought I had solved the mystery, only to be disabused of my theory a few pages later, which, of course, makes the book even more riveting! It was enthralling!" - Sharon Bennett Connolly, author of Heroines Of The Medieval World
