While at the deli in Bramley, Ella Haywood
learns that the government considers the “Poisoned Village” safe for humans to
enter for the first time in decades. Fifty
years ago during the heat of the Cold War, the government evacuated nearby Priors
Bramley; turning the tiny village into a chemical warfare test site.
Shocked and fearing exposure for the crime
they committed in Priors Bramley, Ella reflects back to when she and her
childhood friends Clementine Poulter and Veronica Campion snuck into the
forbidden zone just before a plane was schedule to dump Geranos compound on the
village. Wandering around the empty
streets, the three young girls were frightened to meet a mutilated person. Panicking the trio kills him unaware that
prior to WWI, this village had another haunting experience at Cadence
Manor.
What Lies Beneath is an exhilarating thriller in which three
decades come together in an eerie drama as what happened in 1912 and the scary
real concept of deliberate destruction of a village as part of weapons testing
tie together with the reopening. Readers
will hear the music playing in the background as Sarah Rayne provides her
audience with a super haunting tale.
