Where The Blackbirds Died - Paperback

by Robert Barnard (Author)

In the woods outside Paddock, Vermont, something evil has found a brand-new friend.

Nine-year-old Caleb Grimley lives in an old, crumbling house with parents who barely notice his existence. His one friend is an imaginary child only he can see and hear.

But when his friend convinces him to do terrible things, Caleb's escapist, make-believe world turns terrifyingly real.

Detective Douglas Whitmore has seen more than his fair share of monsters in twenty years on the job, but nothing at all like the bloodsoaked, gruesome crime scenes - each one with little Caleb Grimley on the periphery.

As the body count climbs, Whitmore works tirelessly to uncover the truth: is Caleb Grimley a victim, a witness, or something much more sinister?
