In 1843, Rufus Longley leaves Cambridge to be a tutor to Julia Harwood, the daughter of a doctor. His new home is an unnerving castle with many secrets. How did Julia’s mother really die? Exactly what scientific work is Dr Longley doing in his basement laboratory? And what lies beneath the pits being dug in the grounds by ill-fated, obsessive treasure-hunters? Rufus must follow the clues and reveal the truth, even if it puts his life at risk.

‘The Pits at Wolsington Castle’ is a supernatural story of love earned but innocence lost, against a background of restless spirits and mortal danger.
