The Devil's Tree

During the hottest summer on record, the small English town of Wymere is holding a summer fete, children play happily with their families and all is well, until a woman reports that her husband and son have gone missing. As a panicked search sweeps the fete, the missing man comes out of the woods covered in blood screaming, ' I don't know what I've done' . He doesn't know what has happened, but his son is nowhere to be seen. Deep in the Wymere woods, a dead tree grows from a mound of black dirt set in the middle of an old, dried-up reservoir. This is where Sergeant Tony Thorne finds the missing boy. And with it, he may have solved a mystery that has plagued the town for almost two decades, and discovered an evil that has lain dormant for centuries.
