March 1970: strange happenings of a sinister nature are reported at Highgate Cemetery. Who or what is lurking amongst the gravestones? Why are the foxes dying? The teenage Alan Nesbit is convinced he knows the answer and that he, alone, is being called to rid the cemetery of the evil that resides there. July, present day: Lauren nervously agrees to participate in a séance with her two best friends. The Ouija board spells out a name that none of them has heard of before - Isabelle Hart. Is one of Lauren?s friends playing a game or is someone trying to contact them from beyond the grave? And why does Isabelle ask for justice? Tom, meanwhile, is attending his father?s funeral in Highgate Cemetery. Tom is convinced that his dad?s death wasn?t an accident and he is determined to investigate it himself. As Lauren discovers Isabelle?s story, Tom investigates his dad?s murder and Alan Nesbit, now a professor of history, pursues his lifetime?s ambition, everything points towards the sleeping angel, a Victorian statue in Highgate Cemetery.
