Synopsis: James Bishop is a schoolboy with a secret. It's not the sort you tell your friends, particularly a yob like Shag Lawrence. And you definitely don't confide in the school chaplain, who has more in common with the Angel of Darkness than the Lord of Light. A religious maniac like Pa is out too, as is poor demented Ma. There's only one place James can go to confront the demons that hound him: the huge, towering and labyrinthine Cathedral. But can he face all the hideous horrors that memory - and the dead - conjure up? (from the back cover of the paperback edition)
