THE CARTER FAMILY IS BACK... Annie Carter is burying her sister Ruthie, from who she has long been estranged. There was bad blood between them - Annie stole away Max Carter on the night before his wedding to Ruthie and that destroyed any closeness between the sisters, which Annie now bitterly regrets. But at least she is giving Ruthie a decent send-off. Except, a mystery surrounds Ruthie's death: was it suicide - or murder? Ruthie left England in the sixties, last seen boarding a train at Waterloo Station. Where was she heading? What, over the intervening years until her death, had she been doing? Because, since the funeral, it seems that someone or something is playing tricks, trying to make Annie Carter lose her mind. Is she being haunted? Or hounded by an enemy from her past?
