'A born story teller' INDEPENDENT 'Nina Bawden's readers should be numbered like the sands of the sea' GUARDIAN 'The first time the children saw the Devil, he was sitting next to them in the second row of deckchairs in the bandstand. He was biting his nails.' So begins the horrifying story of a madman loose in a small seaside town - his prey the very young and the very old.

But will she have the sense to resist it?
