THE
GREENWAY 
Cassie
Maltham was ten that August afternoon in 1975 when her cousin Suzie
vanished - almost before Cassie's eyes - never to be seen again.
Now, twenty years later, Cassie has returned to the quiet English
seashore village where Suzie was last seen, to confront the disaster
that changed Cassie's life forever. Little has altered. The greenway
- the ancient sheltered pathway in whose leafy secret depths Suzie
had disappeared - is still there. And soon another young girl is
swallowed in its shadow. Has Cassie's return provoked this second
sinister tragedy? One thing is certain: Evil, inexorable and insatiable,
has awakened from its long slumber and is once more on the move.
