Summary

Melia is a Secret Agent in North West England and resents being sent off on a simple assignment to catch drug peddlers. But Afghanistan has fallen and the world has turned upside down. Running a late-night observation in Buile Hill Park in Salford she is astonished to be confronted by the tiny people from the Fairy realms.
The fast pace of the operation seems to be flashing backwards and forwards between the dirty streets of the city and the flowers and dells of the woodland glades. Melia is confused. What is real?
It's almost like she is living in one of those old European folk tales.

    Author Randall Morgan is on his way home after spending fourteen days in the secluded cabin where he always goes to write the endings of his books. However, when he arrives in his hometown, East Alin, he is greeted by a disturbing sight. 
At a traffic light near the city limits, someone has turned a lamppost into a makeshift gallows, and in it a man–dead and decomposing–hangs. 
The sight of the hanged man is terrifying in itself, but it soon dawns on Randall that there are other–and far greater–problems in the small town. Because while he is waiting in his car for the police to show up, several people pass by the crime scene - and not a single one of them reacts to the fact that a dead man is hanging in the middle of the street. 
Something has gone completely wrong in East Alin while Randall has been away.
