Publisher's Synopsis
1943. Michael Hamilton, just out of hospital after being wounded in the war, goes to recuperate in a cottage on the Norfolk coast. He is to share the cottage with Anna and Peter, a mother and son who are living there after their London home was bombed a couple of years earlier. The nearby village is reeling from a series of recent tragedies involving the local children, and, within days, Michael himself prevents a further death from happening. He sets about looking for answers at the same time as becoming attracted to Peter - someone who seems to be at the very heart of the mystery. A chilling, old-fashioned ghost story. NB. A shorter novella version of this story was previously published as "The Lookout." The Pied Piper has been fully revised and expanded.
