The Hill

About the Book

Evacuated from central London, and now safe in the countryside from the Nazi night bombers, two young boys are placed in the care of evil strangers. There is a mysterious death on The Hill. Time passes. The boys join the service, the war ends, and they both go on about their lives—one a marginally successful writer and the other a very successful publisher. But one is haunted by the shadows of that night on The Hill, and almost fifty years later, convinces the other that they must return on a voyage of self discovery to find resolution. Once there, evil stalks them again.
