A Child's Garden Of Death (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
The Shirley Temples were almost identical, although one wore a white dress with red polka dots, the other a sailor suit. Sonja Henie, her skates glinting in the sun, seemed not at all awed by the company, and sat most regally while the other little girls arranged the curve of her feet in order that the sharp little skates did not cut into the tea cake.

The child with the dark eyes turned to him, questions in her eyes, as the illusion disappeared. Lyon stood at the edge of the excavation. No vestige remained of the crowded scene of a week before. The woods were quiet, the country lane below empty of automobiles except for his, parked along the stone wall.
