The Ones We Fear - Paperback

by Robert Welbourn (Author)

'Perfectly paced, hugely enjoyable, and not to be missed' - Gemma Fairclough, author of Bear Season

We always want to protect the ones we love. They don't always need it.

15 year old Alex loves football, hates school, and is confused by girls.

There's one particular girl he's drawn to, but Janet is the school weirdo, living on the edge of Deerborn with her mum in a ramshackle house.

When a child goes missing, the accusing fingers of the Deerborn villagers fall on Janet and her mother. Rumours have swirled for years about the strange and disturbing things they do behind closed doors.

Alex doesn't believe the accusations and is desperate to protect Janet, to make sure she's safe.

But Alex doesn't know who Janet really is. Alex doesn't know what Janet is capable of.
