A brooding gothic horror set in the Yorkshire Dales from the prize-winning author of 'The Loney'.

Richard has found prints illuminating the grim story of Jack Grey, a figure from local folklore. As he excavates the roots of the Stythwaite Oak, he remembers the disturbing acts that Ewan carried out before his death – acts that he blamed on Jack Grey.
