But Philip finds himself always accompanied by someone. He cannot see her, he cannot touch her. But he can hear her cry.
With so many happenings and so less people to rely on, Philip needs to find out the mastermind behind those atrocious deeds. But as he advances, he uncovers some horrifying truths.
The whole trilogyseries tells the story of an unfortunate little girlgirl, who takes revenge and a countryside police inspector who comes to town and unearths shocking revelations.
