Paperback. Nick Andrews uncovers a macabre secret when he moves into the house on the cliff - a mystery which draws him into Black Bay's crumbling community of eccentrics and the insane. He gropes into the distant past - lured from Black Bay's ruined fort, its rocks carved with records of smallpox and bubonic plague, into a hidden sub-terranean world of cruelty and obsession.Despite the increasing danger to himself and his new wife and step daughter, Andrews persists in his attempts to unravel the puzzle, until finally, deep in the heart of the Australian bush, he losses control of the events he has so carefully set in train.In his second novel Ian Moffitt has turned inward to etch the dark landscape of the criminal mind in a tense psychological thriller. Good condition. Light tanning on page edges.
