'Terrific' STEPHEN KING Evil has a one track mind... Celebrated children's author and
illustrator Annie Blunt has had a dreadful year. Her husband was killed in a tragic accident
then one of her children's books ignited a major scandal. Desperate for a fresh start she
moves with her young son Charlie to a charming small town in upstate New York where they can
begin to heal. But Annie's year is about to get worse. Bored and lonely in their isolated new
surroundings Charlie is thrilled when he finds a forgotten train set in a locked shed in the
grounds of their new house. While Annie is pleased to see Charlie happy there's something
unsettling about his new toy. Strange sounds wake Annie in the night - she's sure she can hear
a train in the middle of the night although there isn't an active line for miles. And then
bizarre things start happening in the neighbourhood. But even stranger Annie can't seem to
stop drawing a disturbing new character that has no place in a children's book... Grief plays
tricks on the mind but Annie is beginning to think she's walked out of one nightmare straight
into another only this one is far more terrifying... Sunday Times bestselling author Linwood
