The Evil Within

By Alistair Birch

A left-for-dead victim. A school built on secrets. And a truth that has waited fifteen years to surface.

On an icy lane in Oxfordshire, Emily Clay is struck down and left for dead. With no witnesses and no leads, the tragedy fades into the silence of the countryside. Who knows what happened, or why?

As the flamboyant 1980s arrive, Chancery School thrives with ambition, rivalry, and hidden agendas. Students face bullying, betrayal, and treachery, while teachers wage their own ruthless power struggle behind closed doors. But beneath the glitter of a new decade lies a dark truth waiting to surface.

As the corruption at Chancery reaches its breaking point, an ultimate showdown threatens to expose the dark truth behind Emily Clay's disappearance.

Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, dark academia, and gripping mysteries, this novel blends suspense, drama, and unforgettable twists that will keep readers turning pages late into the night.

The past never stays buried...

It's always there. Waiting.
