Description
Albert Arbon collapses at Delamere House after a three-day trek. His only son, Robert, has vanished after seeing a strange light in the Suffolk sky, and Arbon is desperate to find him.
Detectives Jack and Baxter, with young Simeon, accompany Arbon back to his remote Suffolk farmhouse, only to find themselves faced with a combination of rural legends seemingly tied to a series of unsettling events. A body lies inexplicably in the middle of an untouched wheat field. Other children have gone missing. There is talk of a fire snake, and no-one dare share the secrets of what can be seen from Snake Hill.
As the investigation deepens, Jack must navigate more than the mystery. He must also face the burdens of responsibility not only for uncovering the truth and doing the right thing, but also for guiding Simeon, a boy on the cusp of manhood, whos willing to risk everything to prove himself.
Snake Hill is the ninth book in the Delamere Files mystery series. The books should be read in order, starting with Finding a Way.
