1920. Scotland Yard detective DI Albert Lincoln is still reeling from the disturbing events of the previous year when he''s called away from London to a new case in the North West of England.

Now a woman has been murdered there and another child is missing, the sole witness being a traumatised boy who lives in a cemetery lodge. Albert is determined that this time him he will find the truth . . . and the missing child.
When Albert delves into the lives of the village residents he uncovers shocking secrets and obsessions. Then, as more bodies are discovered, he realises that his young witness from the cemetery lodge is in grave danger, from somebody he calls ''the Shadow Man''.
