The Midwinter Watch
One snowy day, 100 years ago, a watch was stolen from Silas Heron. It was blamed on a passing beggar boy – but, as Sophie, Jack and Simon are to discover, the truth is more complex. How does a stranger arrive at the station when the tracks no longer exist? And what is the Midwinter Watch?

John Gordon
John (Jack) William Gordon (19 November 1925 – 20 November 2017) was an English writer of young-adult supernatural fiction. He wrote sixteen fantasy novels including The Giant Under the Snow, four short story collections, over fifty short stories, and a teenage memoir.
Most of John Gordon's novels are in the supernatural fantasy and horror genres and feature teenagers in the central roles. The adventures are often set in The Fens, an environment John found mysterious and inspirational in his own adolescence, and contain elements East Anglian folklore (such as the doom dog – Black Shuck). His work has been compared to that of the acclaimed ghost novelist M.R. James. Indeed The House on the Brink (1970) is regarded by admirers as one of the greatest novels in the Jamesian Tradition.
