Description
From her surgery window Dr Megan Banesto watches as the body of Bianca Rhys is dragged from the local pond - a paranoid schizophrenic (famed for her outrageous claims and stories), her death doesn't come as a surprise to the local community. Soon after, when a ten year old child goes missing, Megan begins to wonder if Bianca's scandalous statements about disappearances from the village were really the truth rather than symptoms of her disease. Set in the claustrophobic atmosphere of a small Welsh mining town, Disturbing Ground is a gripping novel which seeks to find the truth about the shifting boundary between sanity and insanity.
