The Believers

Book excerpt: “Does history really have a habit of repeating itself?” Jack Swanson, a graduate in Archaeological Sciences believes so, as he uncovers a series of disturbing events running through the De Gale family history, leading him to question the safety of his sister, as she marries into their aristocratic dynasty. After arriving in the sleepy village of Old Compton, set deep within the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside, Jack seeks the help of the local villagers in an attempt to uncover the truth behind the mysterious family who have recently acquired the vacant manor house. A missing Sports car, a severed finger in a lake, and the bizarre rantings of a retiring Vicar, add fuel to his suspicions. Jack must determine if the family are aware of past events in their ancestry, or could they be oblivious to a hereditary dysfunction that may have raised it's ugly head once again.
