An ancient Bear Pit sits incongruously at the edge of a well used Park in a part of Yorkshire which is slowly slipping from rural to suburban. The site has no purpose today other than to guild a legend which has been etched into the nightmares of local children and tests the bravery of the local teenagers who dare to hang out near it as they waste away their evenings.
When the lifeless body of a beautiful teenager is found at the bottom of The Pit the whispered stories surrounding the site take on a whole new depth of horror.
Jill Davis, a local teacher, didn’t actually know Lucy Pennington (the girl whose fate was sealed in The Pit) and yet she is swiftly trapped in the drama of her death.
The only respite in the nightmare which faces Jill is meeting Detective Inspector Michael Chapman who has returned to the North of England following years in self imposed exile. Michael and Jill are inexplicably drawn to each other despite a myriad of differences and complications but will the depth of their connection help or hinder their shared compulsion to unmask whoever, or whatever, killed Lucy?
In a story of legacy, control and influence relationships will be tested to breaking point as Jill discovers the power of hearts which have been scarred.
