The Innkeeper He Buried

The Sheet Anchor has stood on the moor for two hundred years. Jonas Wick has kept it for eleven. He knows the cellar is deeper than the plans. He knows why. When the railway surveyor arrives with his instruments and his arithmetic, the number does not add up. When Jonas's sister returns with a lawyer's letter, the family does not add up either. Behind the cellar wall, in a row, are the passengers who never reached their destination in the great snow of 1862. Each one still holding a ticket. Some inns keep their guests. This one kept them tidy. A Victorian historical horror mystery from the author of the moorland chronicles.
