Description

Edwina Fairfax had defied her brilliant and successful family and trained as an aboriculturist. All her life she had loved trees and when she got her first job - helping to protect and preserve the treelands of Essex - she was delighted. Almost at once she came up against Leo and Cassandra Midnight, the sinister couple living at Gorham House who refused to let her inspect the huge old trees on their property. Edwina was especially terrified of Leo, who reminded her of her bullying and critical father. When she sought the help of Felix Trent, the local policeman, he realised there was something very strange about the Midnights, and when he met Cassandra he recognised her from his past. As Edwina found herself in more and more trouble in her job, making one bad mistake after another, she began to wonder if her family was right about her ability to succeed in life. But finally, when she and Felix faced up to their last confrontation with the Midnights, her future became resolved and she took a new and challenging path forward.
