Description
On the rugged Cornish cliffs, a peculiar tradition unfolds every Hallowe’en, captivating locals and tourists alike. The ritualistic strapping of a life-sized effigy of a man serves as both a spectacle and a mystery, drawing the attention of the townsfolk and sparking rumors of dark secrets hidden beneath their seemingly picturesque surface. As the winds howl and the sea crashes below, an air of suspense fills the atmosphere, inviting curiosity and fear.
Wycliffe, a seasoned detective with an astute sense of observation, finds himself at the center of the unfolding drama. Called to investigate the eerie tradition, he soon discovers that the effigy is not just a harmless symbol of celebration; it holds within it the key to a series of unsettling events that have washed over the village. Through a combination of sharp wit and tireless determination, Wycliffe peels back layers of deception intertwined with local lore.
As he delves deeper into this strange custom, he encounters a cast of intriguing characters, each with their own connection to the effigy, and potentially to each other. Dark truths begin to emerge, intertwining the past with the present, challenging Wycliffe to navigate a complex landscape of human emotion and hidden motives.
With the tension mounting, time is of the essence. As whispers of danger echo through the windswept cliffs, Wycliffe races against the clock to uncover the darkness lurking behind the mask of tradition, proving that even in the most tranquil settings, malevolence can hide in plain sight.
