Blackthorn Wood - Paul Hillman

From the author of Seaview House: What happens when bullying becomes lethal?

Every workplace has its dark corners, places where the power-hungry lurk, where resentment and grudges fester. Former deputy head teacher Cassie Clifton knows this. It's why she's no longer working. And it's why she hasn't left her home for more than two years.

Cassie's husband has encouraged her to work with a therapist to recover from the damage she's suffered after workplace bullying and a drunken staff party that took a violent turn. Freddy's counselling and support helps Cassie take her first tentative steps back into the world. But the threat hasn't disappeared-and once she understands the malevolent machinations going on around her, she will have to confront her fears head-on . . .'/
