Twelve-year-old Steven
Lamb digs holes on Exmoor, hoping to find a body. Every day after
school, while his classmates swap football stickers, Steven goes digging
to lay to rest the ghost of the uncle he never knew, who disappeared
aged eleven and is assumed to have fallen victim to the notorious serial
killer Arnold Avery.
Only Steven's Nan is not convinced her son
is dead. She still waits for him to come home, standing bitter guard at
the front window while her family fragments around her. Steven is
determined to heal the widening cracks between them before it's too
late. And if that means presenting his grandmother with the bones of her
murdered son, he'll do it.
