Kay´s mother bundles her daughters into the car and drives to her husband´s Cambridge college to collect him. But the staff claim that nobody by his name has ever worked there...And that night, Kay is woken by voices at her window: the voices of Will and Phillip, the Removers. But they are not human and Kay shouldn´t be able to see them. Except she can . . .
Kay´s father is working late - as usual. Fed up, her mother bundles her daughters into the car and drives to her husband´s Cambridge college to collect him herself. But when they arrive, the staff claim that nobody by his name has ever worked there . . .

Kay is puzzled by her mother´s reaction - silent tears, not anger and confusion. And what is even more puzzling is the card on her pillow when they return home:

Will O. de Wisp, Gent. F.H.S.P. and Phillip R. T. Gibbet, Gent. F.H.S.P. K.Bith. REMOVALS.

That night, Kay is woken by voices at her window: the voices of Will and Phillip, the Removers. But they are not human. And Kay shouldn´t be able to see them. Except she can . . .
A sinister literary debut combining action and fantasy. Daily Express
