When Dead Men won't Lie

Eleven year old Niall Robson is a Yorkshire lad with a vivid imagination, who retreats into a fantasy world of heroes and villains, to colour his post- war childhood. But Niall’s real world is falling apart. His Dad is out of work, his mother at the end of her tether and his sister out of her mind. Then literally, just beyond his back door Niall makes a fascinating discovery, triggering a series of haunting events that will change his life forever. Is it the ranting and raving of his neighbours that Niall can hear through the paper thin walls or voices from another time? Will he solve the mystery of the handsome stranger who steals his sister’s heart? Can he rise above the taunts and tortures he suffers at the hand of two brainless bullies? And will he retain his sense of humour and staunch optimism in the face of adversity? Things are looking increasingly grim in the Robson household and Niall realises that he must forego his childhood fantasies and step into the real world in order to discover the truth and find the true heroes in his life.
