Burnley Cross

by Elizabeth Bowes

Overview

Burnley Cross stands on a desolate headland in the tiny hamlet of Clough; a place few people venture to go and even the fishing fleet change their route to avoid passing it. And then, four adventurous teens, Jonathan O'Hara, Sean Fitzroy, Paddy Connor and Mike Halloran decide to make the house that is said to be haunted, their summer quest. The consequences of the long ago quest casts long shadows that continue to haunt Dr. Jonathan O'Hara. When his childhood friend, Pat Connor, now a well known movie star returns to Rathfell, and buys the house he has always thought of as his home, O'Hara and his friends, Pat and his wife, Maryann, Rory and Elaine Fitzroy and Deirdre Sullivan, the woman O'Hara is about to marry, are once again confronted with the unknown. When violent dreams begin to invade his sleep, O'Hara finds himself confronted with a maelstrom of doubt and confusion. Fearing he has lost the sense he calls 'the knowing' he embarks on a journey to discover the secrets of Burnley Cross and comes face to face with the horrors of its past. It is then he discovers there are others, who share his sense of knowing and with their help, the ghost that haunts the old mansion is finally laid to rest.
