Teggs and his crew begin to investigate but then strange things begin to happen to them too...
Author: Born in 1971, Steve Cole spent a happy childhood in rural Bedfordshire being loud and aspiring to amuse. He liked books, and so went to the University of East Anglia to read more of them. Later on he started writing them too, with titles ranging from pre-school poetry to Young Adult thrillers (with more TV and film tie-ins than he cares to admit to along the way). In other careers he has been the editor of Noddy magazine, and an editor of fiction and nonfiction book titles for various publishers. Reader: Stephen Tompkinson rose to fame after his roles in Drop the Dead Donkey and the BBC drama Ballykissangel. He has since starred in a number of TV comedies and dramas, including In Deep, Wild at Heart, and The Taming of the Shrew and appeared in such West End productions as Tartuffe, Arsenic and Old Lace and Art. He also starred in the feature films Brassed Off, Hotel Splendide and Treacle.
