Monknash was once home to a band of smugglers, but it is now dull and boring. Except to Greg Morton, who’s absolutely terrified something unimaginable has happened to everyone in the village. He telephones his friend, Hobo, to ask for help.
When Hobo and Lucy arrive, they discover that something odd is definitely going on – but what? People seem joyless and dull, showing no emotions at all.
Even Greg, who now insists that he was joking, seems very different.
Why are people walking toward the cliffs at the stroke of midnight? Who is the lady in the wheelchair? What are the villagers trying to protect in the caves? And why can't the local policeman see anything strange?
Can Lucy and Hobo take on an entire village by themselves?
The Lucy Wilson Mysteries is a Lethbridge-Stewart spin-off adventure and featured licensed characters created for Doctor Who by Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln.
Fans of The Sarah Jane Adventures, Doctor Who and Lethbridge-Stewart will love this book series!
John Peel is the author of Doctor Who books and comic strips. Notably, he wrote the first original Doctor Who novel, Timewyrm: Genesys, to launch the Virgin New Adventures line. In the early 1990s he was commissioned by Target Books to write novelisations of several key Terry Nation Dalek stories of the 1960s after the rights were finally worked out. He later wrote several more original Daleks novels.
He has the distinction of being one of only three authors credited on a Target novelisation who had not either written a story for the TV series or been a part of the production team (the others were Nigel Robinson and Alison Bingeman).
Outside of Doctor Who, Peel has also written novels for the Star Trek franchise. Under the pseudonym "John Vincent", he wrote novelisations based upon episodes of the 1990s TV series James Bond Jr..
Its not often I find all the questions I have raised in the mystery part of the book answered by the end. That pleased me no end, and Lucy and Hobo are just great. Hit felt a bit like a SJA, and that is no bad thing. Highly recommended.
This one might be my favorite Lucy Wilson book so far ( tied with the Brigadier & the Bledsoe Cadets). The story was interesting & I love the whole mystery of it.
If you’re a fan of SJA, I highly recommend this series
