Symbols At Your Door
By Anthea Fraser
In the English village of Beckworth, the local residents live in fear. Five houses have been defaced with the same graffiti; a grotesquely leering gargoyle’s head on their front door.
The vandalism is blamed on the ‘Bedworth Bruisers’, a gang of local youths who notoriously terrorise newcomers to the village.
As the marked houses becomes targets for break-ins and theft, Detective Chief Inspector Webb steps in.
When the body of Carol Dexter, who has just moved from London, is found floating in a pond, Webb can’t help but note that her door was also marked by this strange symbol. It seems to act as a warning…or as a target…
With three more houses marked, DCI Webb must consider whether murder is the meaning behind the symbols on the doors. Or is it something even stranger…
