Fifth Son

About this book

From back cover: Murder or suicide? That's the simple question put to Inspector Michael Green when a derelict stranger falls to his death from an abandoned church tower in a quiet river village ... But when the victim turns out [to] be a long lost son of a local farm family cursed in recent years by tragedy, madness and death, Green begins to suspect something far more sinister is at work. Probing the family's past, he uncovers a family secret so horrific that 20 years later, someone is still desperate to prevent the truth from coming to light.
