Mr Godley's Phantom by Mal Peet
It's 1945 and Martin Heath, like many men at that time, is struggling to settle, to find his place again after the horrors of war. Then an old comrade sends him a letter and tells him of a position that's just come up in the remote wilds of Dartmoor - working for an elderly fellow called Mr Godley. "Are you a good driver, Mr Heath?" It's a simple question and a simple task and the doorway to a dark mystery that may just turn out to be the escape he was hoping for - but at what cost?
Worth reading slowly, if you can, to savour every last drop of Peet's rare imagination * Sunday Times *
For the past decade Mal Peet quietly accrued literary awards in the UK, the USA and Europe - including The Branford Boase Award, a Nestle Children's Book Award, The Carnegie Medal and The Guardian Children's Book Prize as well as a number of American awards. He passed away in 2016 and is sorely missed by both his loving family and the literary world.
