About This Book

The narrative examines a string of brutal, unexplained child murders discovered in a rural wood, combining precise descriptions of the locality and landmarks with a chronicle of investigative activity, medical testimony, and local rumor. It moves through chapters that set the scene, recount specific incidents and physical evidence, and detail tests and examinations that alternately invite supernatural interpretation and motive-based criminal explanation. Throughout, atmospheric description and community reaction sit alongside procedural detail and a proposed plan for apprehension, while key elements remain ambiguous and the cause of the crimes is left unresolved.
