ALT A photo collage. Top row: strobing orange lights; the moon in various stages of its lunar cycle; a man looking thoughtful wearing glasses, rain at night reflecting onto his face. Middle row: the silhouette of a man outside looking at the stars; blueprints and equations in close up; a man and woman at sunset in silhouette about to kiss; a photo taken at slow shutter speed of someone stood making circles with a torch. Bottom row: 20 odd grandfather clocks in brown, teal and grey - all showing different times; a woman deep in thought, eyes closed, chin raised arms folded, holding herself.

ALT Text: Opening York was famous for its ghosts, but Harper had seen too many demons to fear rumours and trickery. Yet, as mist trickled down the cobbled street of the Shambles, curled up the sides of wonky buildings and flowed over her feet, that certainty wavered. The hairs on her bare arms prickled despite the lingering summer warmth. She didn’t believe in ghosts, but she did believe in human evil.
