About the Author:

Margaret Yorke is frequently cited as as equal to P.D. James and Ruth Rendell. She is a past chairman of the Crime Writers' Association and the author of over 50 novels.

From AudioFile:

Quiet English towns are not always as quiet as they seem, nor are their unassuming residents always kindly. When four boys go on a rampage to amuse themselves, some quiet lives are changed forever. When a narrator is as accomplished at her craft as Phyllida Nash, it is difficult to find a new set of adjectives to describe her abilities. Whatever she reads, she gives her full professional attention, so the listener is entertained by a good story told by an expert actor.
