The Darkness of the Knight

He who plays with fire usually burns, bringing forth destruction unto himself and to those all around.

A face familiar to some returns to an English village to visit an old friend. Suspicion becomes rife among many of the residents when they hear he emerged out of the darkness from across the marsh.

Something is going to happen in the village tonight, but nobody is saying what. Nobody, that is, except Vincent Carruthers who takes the visitor by the hand, and between them they resolve to uncover a sinister plot based on a false prophecy. But is it truly false? 

What has happened to The Reverend’s daughter? And what part does Old Glennie and the practice of witchcraft play on this, the darkest of nights as it threatens to repeat the horror of something that happened twelve years earlier?

This mystery is set in England in1975. The dark suspense will keep you guessing. This is the penultimate short story in the series ‘Second Chance’. It can also hold its place as a stand alone story.
