The Postmaster looked over my shoulder. As I turned to look I saw a
flicker of movement from across the street. I felt unseen eyes peer
at me. He walked away without another word. I watched as he climbed
onto his bicycle and sped away down the street. I turned back and
looked over my shoulder. Someone had been watching us. 1904. Thomas
Bexley, one of the first forensic photographers, is called to the
sleepy and remote Welsh village of Dinas Powys, several miles down
the coast from the thriving port of Cardiff. A young girl by the
name of Betsan Tilny has been found murdered in the woodland - her
body bound and horribly burnt. But the crime scene appears to have
been staged, and worse still: the locals are reluctant to help. As
the strange case unfolds, Thomas senses a growing presence watching
him, and try as he may, the villagers seem intent on keeping their
secret. Then one night, in the grip of a fever, he develops the
photographic plates from the crime scene in a makeshift darkroom in
the cellar of his lodgings. There, he finds a face dimly visible in
the photographs; a face hovering around the body of the dead girl -
the face of Betsan Tilny.
