James, collected together for the first time BLACKHAM'S WIMPEY Why should three successive crews flying a Second World War bomber - Blackham's Wimpey - be driven to madness, despair, even death, though the plane returns from each mission without a scratch? 'A writer of disturbing brilliance' - Times Educational Supplement THE WHEATSTONE POND Too many deaths, too many suicides. It was more than coincidence. The Wheatstone Pond was a killer. When it's drained, antique dealer Jeff Morgan gets interested, hoping there'll be a few valuable wrecks of model boats down there. He isn't prepared for the horror he will find instead... 'Gutsy and energetic, grippingly plotted' - Guardian YAXLEY'S CAT Sepp Yaxley vanished seven years ago, and no one has seen him since. Rose and her children Tim and Jane thought his vacant cottage, alone by the marshes, seemed like the perfect place for a holiday adventure. But that was before they decided to find out what happened to old Yaxley. Before they started to find strange things in the garden. Before the neighbors began to act weird. Before Yaxley's cat came back... 'Calls to mind Hitchcock's creepiest films' - Publishers Weekly
