About this ebook

What was the secret of the flat black rock, unlike any other rock in the Cornish landscape where it lay? And where was Josiah Baswell, who had sat down to rest some three hundred years earlier, and simply disappeared?
For generations, the Stone at Trelynn had exerted some malevolent kind of influence on the Baswell family. And now the children, John Baswell and his friends Angie, Raven and Liss, could see lights shimmering in its depths. The locals called it the ‘wishing’ stone, but regarded it with a fear beyond superstition.
Grandfather Norton, wiser than the rest, had more than an idea of where the huge, dagger-shaped rock had come from. But even when it gave up its secret, nobody really knew whether the danger within the Stone was past ... or still to come.

John Richard Newton Chance was born in Streatham Hill, London, in 1911, the son of Dick Chance, a managing editor at the Amalgamated Press. He studied to become a civil engineer, and then took up quantity surveying, but gave it up at 21 to become a full-time writer. He wrote for his father's titles, including "Dane, the Dog Detective" for Illustrated Chips, and a number of stories for the Sexton Blake Library and The Thriller Library.He went on to write over 150 science fiction, mystery and children's books and numerous short stories under various names, including John Lymington, John Drummond, David C. Newton, Jonathan Chance and Desmond Reid. Including 20+ SF potboilers, adding that he "made a steady income by delivering thrillers to Robert Hale (the UK publisher) at a chapter a week".His novel Night of the Big Heat was adapted to television in 1960 and to film, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, in 1967.
