The Hidden People

In 1851, within the grand glass arches of the Crystal Palace, Albie Mirralls meets his cousin Lizzie for the first - and last - time. When next he hears of her, it is to be told she has died at the hands of her husband. Unable to countenance the rumours that surround her murder, Albie leaves his young wife to travel to Lizzie's home in Halfoak, a village that remains steeped in superstition and myth. Albie begins to look into her death, but in a village where the old tales hold sway and the 'Hidden Folk' supposedly roam, answers are slippery and tragedy is just a step away . . .
