Description

Another mystery in the “master of the intelligent twist.”On a day in 1981, a two-year-old girl, Tamsin Hall, was abducted throughout a picnic at the famous prehistoric site of Avebury in Wiltshire. Her eight-year-old sister Miranda was knocked-down and killed by the abductor’s van. Girls were in the care of the nanny, Sally Wilkinson.One of the witnesses for this tragic event was David Umber, a Ph.D student who was waiting in the town bar to keep a scheduled appointment with a guy named Griffith who stated he may help Umber with his studies in to the characters of “Junius,” the pseudonymous eighteenth-century polemicist who was his Ph.D topic. But Griffin didn't appear, and Umber never heard from him again.
