In this prequal, the second book in the Thirstonfield Halt series, life for the Bradbury family was as close to idyllic as it could be on a working farm nestled amongst the achingly beautiful North Yorkshire Moors in post war England. Thomas and his wife Anne worked hard while their young son George attended the local school in the village of Thirstonfield. Their lives seemed content until that fateful day when Thomas happened upon Jack Bright.

The act of kindness shown by Thomas would be repaid by the most abhorrent act imaginable. From that moment on their simple, honest lives, would be forever changed as their world is turned upside down by the arrival of the mysterious stranger.

What would follow are a series of disturbing events that will forever echo through time itself.
