Title: Blackmoor
Description: "Bird-watching teenager Vincent Cartwright lives out a bullied, awkward existence not far from the site of Blackmoor, a mysterious Derbyshire village that no longer exists. His mother Beth had been half-blind and unknowable, and her life and death in that same village has always been a dark family secret. However, as Vincent comes of age he begins to search for the truth. His search uncovers the events that happened in Blackmoor - the destruction of an industry, the dissolution of a community, and Beth's persecution at the hands of superstitious locals. He discovers the story of a young woman whose face didn't fit, and a past that refuses to go away."--Publisher description.
