Trade Paperback.

Now he's dead, and his estranged family are set to inherit his estate.

Floorboards creak, secret passageways echo, and wind whistles in the house's famous priest hole. And then, on the morning the family decide to leave All Hallows Hall once and for all, their young son Timmy goes missing...
