Embroidering Shrouds Publisher's summary

A spate of attacks is hitting the peaceful town of Leek - and they're getting increasingly violent.

When Joanna calls on Nan's neighbours she is surprised to find that they are none other than the old lady's estranged brother and his teenage grandson, neither of whom seems particularly willing to co-operate with her enquiries.
