It’s the holidays and Tori and his sister, Maddie, have gone to stay again with their cousins Bronte and Morgan on their vineyard property. But this time Maddie sets off a chain of events that plunges them all into mysteries, past and present. The second exciting mystery set on the vineyard property of Eden Glassie.
There’s tension at Eden Glassie these holidays: Tori is torn between spending time with his two cousins, Morgan on the new four-wheeler bike that Uncle Ian has bought for the vineyard, and Bronte, who wants to ride horses and hates the bike.
Flood strikes the idyllic vine yard property of Eden Glassie, and the raging river sweeps away the family’s dogs. All are returned except Axle, Tori’s beagle. But a dog sounding like Axle can be heard howling from the other side of the swollen river. Tori risks a midnight swim across to find his dog, but instead finds something much more troubling and sinister…
Henny can’t work Kip out. Where is his family? Where does he live? Why do waves of sadness and anger sometimes overtake him? The answers to these questions only come when the two friends’ boat is trapped in a dark storm. In the urgent battle to survive, the limits of friendship and trust will be stretched to breaking point.
A terrifying cyclone brings down power lines and creates havoc, while a mysterious prowler, circling the Eden-Glassie homestead, strikes terror into the hearts of Tori, his sister and two cousins.
