IT STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PLANNING REQUEST ...
Rampton Farm, Northumberland, has always been a gloomy, godforsaken place. Now it's earmarked for demolition--to make way for just another tawdry amusement park. It will be progress, and nothing can stand in the way--except perhaps Arnold Landon, the Planning Officer who must glean the lie of the land.
Medieval architecture is Arnold's passion. And scouting the grounds, he makes a thrilling discovery: the Old Wheat Barn. He is captivated the moment he crosses the threshold; its walls echo with whispers of the past. Then and there, he realizes he must save it from the developers. But his efforts meet with hostile resistance. And then the barn offers up its most shocking secret yet ...
A dead body, sprawled in the straw.
What other crimes lay hidden in the dark history of the barn? Arnold won't rest until he uncovers the truth.
Originally published as A Gathering of Ghosts, fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P. D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, JD Kirk, Bill Kitson, and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.
