    About this ebook

    Another backpacker murder!

    When Jan and Rodney Wiltshire purchased the Manor in 2002 they thought the history of murders associated with the old establishment was behind them. But when a backpacker is murdered whilst they holiday in the UK the Manor is again in the spotlight with a long list of murders associated with the Manor dating back 60 years.

    Jeremy Patten uses his unique skill to help Police investigators solve this long running mystery by visiting people after dark. At night when others fall asleep Jeremy is able to enter a world, a dream world. As those around him wander in their dreams Jeremy is conscious of the dark world he has entered. He is able to be both summoned and summon those he seeks out to bring realism to the dream world he has entered.

    Highland Manor sits imposingly on high ground in inner Chicago, but it has been a troubled place for previous owners who have endured a spate of murders and disappearances. What is the dark secret that haunts the local Bed and Breakfast and why has the mystery gone on for so long? Is the Manor haunted?

    ‘The Mystery of Highland Manor ’, is the third book in the After Dark series and follows on from, ‘The Story Begins’, and ‘Chicago Fire’. It continues the romance between the main character Jeremy Patten and Tara Shield, and sees Jeremy uncover and help solve a long running and ongoing mystery in this gripping tale.
