On a glorious July morning in the pretty Lake District village of
Threlkeld, Simmy Brown and Christopher Henderson celebrate their wedding
day. While the event passes off without undue calamity, when most of the
guests have departed a severely injured young man is found nearby.
Pressure on police resources compromises the investigation and
speculation is rife. Was it an accident or something more sinister? What
was just a chilling suspicion develops into an altogether more
disturbing theory.
