KS2 Maths Mental Workout - Book 6, Levels 4-5

Set in a mill town in Northern England, the narrative unfolds across two timelines: the 1890s, where Detective Sergeant Rino Rossi investigates a series of attacks on young women, and the 1970s, featuring a university lecturer navigating the town's decline. The story reveals a connection between past and present, exploring themes of hereditary evil and the dark undercurrents of late Victorian society. As the characters confront the town's sordid history, the impact of these events continues to resonate through generations.

A diverse array of short stories unfolds in settings ranging from the Arizona Desert to Northern England. The narratives include intriguing events at a Victorian rugby club, an unexpected twist in a studio audience's experience, and an uninvited guest at a health club. Each tale offers unique insights into human experiences and the unexpected moments that arise in everyday life.

As a Chartered Geographer and Fellow of prestigious geographical and engineering societies, Hartley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his writing.
