A young girl by the name of Betsan Tilny has been found murdered in the woodland - her body bound and horribly burnt. But the crime scene appears to have been staged, and worse still: the locals are reluctant to help.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the strange case unfolds, Thomas senses a growing presence watching him, and try as he may, the villagers seem intent on keeping their secret. Then one night, in the grip of a fever, he develops the photographic plates from the crime scene in a makeshift darkroom in the cellar of his lodgings. There, he finds a face dimly visible in the photographs; a face hovering around the body of the dead girl - the face of Betsan Tilny.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51474923553056,"sku":"9781409189862","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781409189862.jpg?v=1775979398","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-shadow-on-the-lens-sam-hurcom-9781409189862","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
