Opis

Withens is a small village in the Peak District, but it's no idyll. Dark and dour, it's troubled by theft and vandalism, mostly generated by local family-from-hell, the Oxleys. Now it is the focus of a murder investigation - a young man's body has been found on the desolate moors nearby and the man is an Oxley.
