The Ghosts of Crowford Haunting Pier

The year is 1999. As he gets ready for another night-shift at Crowford Pier, Patrick Bale has no idea that he's about to enter a nightmare. All he has to do is lock the gates and make sure that nobody manages to break in. But he should be more concerned about something trying to break out... At the end of the pier, a shuttered cafe hides a dark secret. A lone fisherman sits in the rain, waiting for a catch that never seems to come, while a shadowy figure is occasionally spotted lurking nearby. And as waves crash against the pier's concrete-clad legs and rain batters the structure, Patrick discovers that even the surveillance cameras seem to be telling a story that can't possibly be true. Meanwhile, across the road, three women gather for a night out in one of the local pubs. Nat has always had a crush on Patrick, but she's never done anything about it. Will tonight be the night she makes her move? And even if she does, will she be too late? And will the terrifying horror at the end of the pier claim another victim before the storm passes? The Haunting of Crowford Pier is another stand-alone book in the long-running Ghosts of Crowford series, about a spooky English town where the ghosts outnumber the living and nothing is ever quite what it seems.
