Publisher's Synopsis
A quiet street in the West Country is scandalized by its new occupants. The inhabitants of peaceful Mulberry Lane take a keen interest in the activities of their neighbours. When number fifteen comes onto the market they are intrigued to see a good-looking man being shown the property and hope to find a pleasant, quiet family moving in. They are sadly disappointed - the house is to be a hostel for young offenders. Feelings run high. Opinions are divided. Some fear that they will be murdered in their beds while others want to welcome these youths into their community. However friendly the newcomers may be, there are those in Mulberry Lane who are determined to scupper the scheme at all costs.
