A DEADLY SHADE OF NIGHT
How
do you take your tea?
The
Beast of Whitherward Fell has been blamed for a great many mysterious events
and gruesome murders on that wildest, perilous stretch of the Yorkshire Moors.
But what, or who, is the real monster? And can there be only one that has
stalked this place since the beginning of time?
Detective
Inspector Ptolemy Deverell does not believe in mythical beasts or supernatural
phenomena. He’s a quiet, unassuming, pragmatic fellow, who seldom falls prey to
emotion. Nobody pulls the fleece over his eyes. So if anybody can shed light on
the rampaging fiend behind the bloody history of this place, surely, he can.
But
when the detective embarks upon three cases at once, he has no idea how tightly
they are entwined, or that this tangle will lead him into the darkest part of
Whitherward Fell. To face the Beast head-on.
With
a lady in search of vengeance; a gentleman on a mission for truth, and a little
girl waiting for justice, the detective already has his hands full. On top of
everything, he— the most unromantic fellow in the world—is in love. Will he
ever get around to proposing marriage to the very modern, bicycle-riding, baker-extraordinaire,
Miss Lucy Greenwood? And, if he does, will she laugh in his face and try drowning
him in raspberry jam?
Not
only that. A ghost from his own past has returned to haunt his nightmares, and he
cannot get on with his life until she’s finally at rest.
Tolly
Deverell might not believe in the Beast of Whitherward Fell, but he is preyed
upon by a scavenging creature that lurks in the bleakest shadows of a dream,
waiting to tear him apart. The great shadow of its wingspan falls from above
when he is most susceptible.
It
comes to him when he’s alone in the dark.
It
comes to him when all but his mind is quiet.
It
comes in the deadliest shades of night.
And
with words clawed into the wall, it asks,
How
do you take your tea?
Tea by George Dunlop Leslie c. 1894
