Book Description
Dancing with the Uninvited Guest marks a return to the dark and chilling atmosphere of A Likeness in Stone, which was nominated for an Edgar, and filmed as a two part drama by the BBC. It centres around Lyndle Hall, a medieval English manor house which lies in the heart of Northumbria's National Park. It is from here that a girl of 18 disappears, along with Lyndle's owner, Francis Herrol. Initially, it is assumed that the two ran off together, but evidence indicates otherwise, and when the police encounter Nicholas, the young and tormented son of Lyndle's owner, their fears for the girl's fate deepen. Parapsychologist Audrah Sidow is convinced there is nothing on earth for which there is no rational explanation. But that is before she, too, encounters Nicholas. The police, meanwhile, have an offer of help from the US psychic, John Cranmer, who is said to be able too communicate with the dead. As a result of what Cranmer tells them, the police begin to realise they are not looking for a runaway, but a murder victim.
