The next stifling, atmospheric gothic crime novel following one of the world' s first forensic photographers - for fans of The Woman in Black, The Silent Companions and Little Strangers. * * * * * * * *A year after ' the affair' in Dinas Powys, Thomas Bexley has become a drunkard and recluse, haunted daily by terrible visions of the dead, visions he cannot explain or truly understand. But when news of a spate of extraordinary kidnappings reaches him, Thomas is shocked to learn that his dear friend and former mentor, Professor Elijah Hawthorn, is the lead suspect. Discovering a plea for help from Hawthorn claiming to have unearthed a gruesome conspiracy at the heart of the Metropolitan Police force, Thomas embarks on a journey to find the missing Hawthorn and prove his innocence. But wherever Thomas goes, he is followed by the dead, and as the mystery of Hawthorn' s disappearance deepens, so too does the conspiracy in the MET and Thomas' s apparently growing insanity. . . How can Thomas be certain of the truth when he can' t trust anybody around him, not even himself. . . ? * * * * * * * *Praise for Sam Hurcom:' An intriguing debut' THE TIMES' A promising debut - gothic, claustrophobic and wonderfully dark' GUARDIAN' A sparkling debut from a name to watch. . .

A sparkling debut from a name to watch. Hurcom expertly weaves a tale of claustrophobic suspicion set in a Welsh village a few miles from Cardiff - but so inward-looking and insular you might as well be in another world. This is top notch historical crime fiction, with a dash of the supernatural. A gorgeous book and a riveting taleA promising debut - gothic, claustrophobic and wonderfully dark - Guardian on A SHADOW ON THE LENSAn intriguing debut - The Times on A SHADOW ON THE LENS
