The Wishing Game by Patrick Redmond
Something terrible happened at Kirkston Abbey school for boys during the bleak winter term of 1954. Now, more than forty years later, journalist Tim Webber is determined to find out the truth. He uncovers a disturbing tale of a seemingly innocuous friendship between two fourteen-year-old boys who embark on a series of psychological power games which escalate with increasingly unnatural and sinister results.
