Echoes from the Orchard

is a tale of life in the fictional village of Hawkswood somewhere between York and Leeds in Yorkshire.

It is centered around Bob, the caretaker and one-time chauffeur of the owners of a mansion neglected and forlorn, but new life comes to it as the lives of the original owners unfold and a young couple arrive to build a house in the orchard that has been put up for sale.

However, Bob has a disturbing secret involving a motorcar that has been buried where the new house is to be built, and he finds himself at the center of a scandal that breaks around him as a result of what is discovered.
