CONTENTS
ОглавлениеIn which Timmy and his brother-in-law, Sid, set off on the trail to terror via a beautiful naked girl with a hairbrush, and in which faint-hearted readers pack it in before the start of Chapter 2.
In which we meet lovely Harper Deneuve, a distant relation from the USA, and an eventful trip from London Airport culminates in a loud bang.
In which the fearless threesome visit a solicitor and Harper hears something very much to her advantage. Death is in the air.
In which Timmy, Sid and Harper arrive on bleak Dartmoor and spend a night or terror – and other things – at the lonely Cock Inn.
In which the intrepid trio set off on the last stage of their hazardous journey to Grimstark Manor, ancestral seat of the Deneuves, and undergo a horrifying experience.
In which we enter the walls of the family seat and meet Festering, the sinister butler, and his staff: Quint, Grip and Blight. Also, excitable Lady Antionia and the aptly-named undermaid, Fanny.
In which night falls, secret panels slide and three lives dangle in the balance.
In which Timmy escapes from the claustrophobic terror of Grimstark Manor and shares a few idyllic moments with upper-crust Fiona Frenzy in a nearby stable, as well as learning something that advances the plot.
In which skilful deduction and investigation culminate in the horrible ordeal of Blackmoor Bog.
In which Sid leads an assault on the forces of evil and death strikes again in macabre circumstances.
In which the flower of the county assembles at Grimstark Manor for the Hunt Ball and the curtain rises on the final act.
In which there is excitement, suspense and death and your goolies drop off if you skipped the rest of the book to get to the denouement. If you don’t know what a ‘denouement’ is, your goolies drop off anyway.
Which is unlucky for some.
