Publisher's Synopsis
Waking late at night, Stella discovers her friend Daniel at her door, terrified, pleading to be let in. The fearful scratching sounds that follow give credence to his tale of haunted woods and creepy scrabbling twigs. Soon after, the two friends save a woman fron her burning house, not realizing that the two occurences are linked. But then a psychic investigator arrives and, as events quickly become even more sinister and dramatic, there seems to be only one conclusion: some weird and supernatural power is at work.;Hugh Scott's other books include "Why Weeps the Brogan?"
