Jake Ridge is the pseudonym of Colin R Parsons. He's a fiction author who writes in many genres, such as: fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural and steampunk. He lives with his wife, Janice, in the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, UK. He's been writing for over two decades and has lots of books published for children and adults. He loves his job as an author and couldn't think of anything else he'd rather do.
A huge storm has hit Windy Vale, and soon after, people start disappearing in the dense, wilderness of Parkland Woods - campers, ramblers and even a workman going about his duties.
There's a pickpocket at Windy Vale train station: not a big problem, but the perpetrator isn't visible and can't be detected on CCTV. As usual the police chief can't spare the resources.
