false 2440137 5 Joseph Vaughan's life has been dogged by tragedy. Growing up in the 1950s, he was at the centre of series of killings of young girls in his small rural community. The girls were taken, assaulted and left horribly mutilated. Barely a teenager himself, Joseph becomes determined to try to protect his community and classmates from the predations of the killer. Despite banding together with his friends as ' The Guardians', he was powerless to prevent more murders - and no one was ever caught. Only after a full ten years did the nightmare end when the one of his neighbours is found hanging from a rope, with articles from the dead girls around him. Thankfully, the killings finally ceased. But the past won't stay buried - for it seems that the real murderer still lives and is killing again. And the secret of his identity lies in Joseph's own history... 2447331 2007 A Quiet Belief in Angels total:268|5:68|4:107|3:60|2:29|1:4| 268 1010 488 74 5 2 false false Fri Mar 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 26 13:52:30 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 28 16:43:34 -0700 2008 5 2 false false Wed Feb 18 11:57:20 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 24 07:09:06 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 18 11:57:20 -0800 2009 However it is a good story as well, ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 12:31:59 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 12:32:36 -0700 2009
