Infiltration

By Rosalind Minett

September 1940. Relentless bombing in London makes Billy's father arrange a hasty second evacuation for his family and this time, sinister cousin Kenneth comes too. While the anxieties of war rage in the background, Kenneth busies himself with further invasion of Billy's psychological territory. He isn't aware of Billy protecting himself with imaginary power from the precious Cossack sabre. Or is he?
Just as Billy is settling into the cosy support of his foster setting, a family catastrophe brings a new threat from Kenneth. This one will affect both their futures permanently.
