A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

It's September 1939, and Britain has just entered the Second World War. But in the small town of Golfodd there are no bombs, no soldiers and no machine guns.

For Tom, Mary, Gary and Dil the whole thing is a disappointment. They want excitement. But they aren't looking for trouble, so when they start shadowing the mysterious new woman in town, they don't expect it to lead them down to the bottom of the old, rotten mines of Golfodd.

Then things get dark and dangerous . . .
