THE #2 BESTSELLERDiscover the latest chilling, unputdownable novel,
from the Richard and Judy bestseller.A child who does not know her
name... In 1903 fishermen find a wrecked boat containing a woman,
who has been badly beaten, and a young girl. An ambulance is sent
for, and the two survivors are taken to All Hallows, the imposing
asylum, hidden deep on Dartmoor. The woman remains in a coma, but
the little girl, Harriet, awakens and is taken to an attic room,
far away from the noise of the asylum, and is put in the care of
Nurse Emma Everdeen. Two motherless boys banished to boarding
school... In 1993, All Hallows is now a boarding school. Following
his mother's death and his father's hasty remarriage, Lewis Tyler
is banished to Dartmoor, stripped of his fashionable clothes, shorn
of his long hair, and left feeling more alone than ever. There he
meets Isak, another lost soul, and whilst refurbishment of the
dormitories is taking place, the boys are marooned up in the attic,
in an old wing of the school. Cries and calls from the past that
can no longer be ignored... All Hallows is a building full of
memories, whispers, cries from the past. As Lewis and Isak learn
more about the fate of Harriet, and Nurse Emma's desperate fight to
keep the little girl safe, it soon becomes clear there are ghosts
who are still restless. Are they ghosts the boys hear at night in
the room above, are they the unquiet souls from the asylum still
caught between the walls? And can Lewis and Isak bring peace to All
Hallows before the past breaks them first... Praise for Louise
