A young girl named Kitty, only daughter of Charles and Jane Evermore, a rich and respected couple, mysteriously disappears one afternoon from the family home in the Gloucestershire countryside. The police are baffled, as there are no traces of Kitty´s whereabouts or clues as to how or why she vanished. Increasingly obsessed by a deep pond on a neighbour´s land and the ramblings of a mysterious Irishman, her father is determined to search on alone.

Craven, Miles
Miles Craven is my penname, an amalgam of the name I was born with (Michael Craven) and the name that replaced it (Michael Miles) when my mother remarried. An exiled Yorkshireman living in North Wales, I am the author of four previous novels: An Uncommon Attorney, Dark Satanic Mill, Eagle and the Lady-Killer and Pride Before a Fall Through Time.
