    About this ebook

    Short story of 9,000 words, set in Denmark - crime & ghosts.

    When Alice loses her job and her home, she is forced to move into an old farmhouse with her husband and her dog. She is determined to make the most of the situation - until she starts to hear the voice of a young girl, and the sound of her singing in the middle of the night. Should Alice follow her instinct and leave the farmhouse, or should she stay and find out what happened when the little girl disappeared without a trace forty years ago?
