'The crow's harsh voice cut through Con's dream, and his eyes flew open. The big bird was standing on the window sill, staring in.'
Con and his family have moved to a huge rambling house deep in the Suffolk countryside. They are hoping for a new start. But instead they are caught up in a tragedy that took place many years before. The tragedy of a mother driven to madness, and her son mysteriously murdered. When the crow starts visiting Con, he knows he must unravel the mystery of their disappearance, or his family will never find peace. But obstacles stand in his way . . . The Bird Boy is waiting . . .
