It has been just a year since the tragic death of eleven people,
nine of whom were innocent of any wrong doing. Despite six bodies
having never been found, life in the village of Lingtree had
gradually begun returning to normal. But then Detective Chief
Inspector Eversden is called in to investigate the suspicious death
of a pipeline contractor called Harris. Unfortunately for the
detective, he was unaware that prior to his death, Harris had
handled a number of skulls exposed in the pipe trench. He dismissed
these as just skeletal remains of prisoners brutally executed for
breaking centuries' past Stannary Laws, the laws relating to tin
mining. As his investigations proceed, events begin to challenge
even the vast experience and abilities of Eversden and his
colleague, Sergeant Jones. However, unbeknown to him, even the best
detective in the force would face the gravest difficulty in dealing
with future incidents which have their roots in the past. Two years
later, the village has undergone a major change, a change which no
one relays to two visiting students, Sally & Helen. Ignoring
the weather forecast and a warning from their guesthouse landlady,
they set off to explore 'The Path of the Dead', the route taken by
coffin bearers in the 13th Century, to meet their obligation to
bury their dead in the graveyard of Lingtree church. What follows,
is a tale of horror beyond anything ever told by even the hardiest
and bravest of traveller.

Brendon Gallagher, a long serving MI6 agent and resident of North
London, makes an infrequent visit to Lingtree, the Bodmin Moor
village where he grew up from the age of eleven, to attend the
funeral of Gareth Pettit, one of his best childhood friends. Having
been granted indefinite leave as a reward for his exploits abroad,
Brendon decides to take the opportunity of staying over a few days
in 'The Judge's Parlour' an allegedly haunted 16th Century pub
built next to the remains of a Norman castle. Although he and his
friends spent much of their time climbing and playing on the
treacherous ramparts of the castle's keep, it is nearly fifty years
since Brendon last summoned the courage to enter its dark,
foreboding interior. Like many villages where small, uncompetitive
farms, local shops and garages have lost out to the growth and mass
requirements of supermarkets, it is not just the lives of some
long-term residents which have changed dramatically, but also their
personalities and mindsets. As well as realising two of his close
friends no longer want to know him, Brendon soon discovers that the
late Gareth's widow, Caroline, has always had feelings for him and
has no intention of her very recent loss standing in the way of
making these known. When DCI McKenna, a past associate enlists
Brendon Gallagher help with investigating the suspicious deaths of
four local residents, together with the unexplained accident which
befell a successful visiting businessman and the murder of a person
unknown, the relaxing and enjoyable holiday Brendon had
anticipated, quickly turns into a trail of insatiable greed and
incredulous, unforeseen horror. From the events which follow, he
gradually learns it was not just the funeral which was responsible
for his return.
