About this book

'It stopped about ten yards away and looked at him steadily. Its eyes were a very pale green, as cold as ice...' It begins with a gruesome discovery: the body of a sheep, torn horribly apart. Then other animals die or go missing, and a great black creature is seen vanishing into the night. Sammy knows his dad can't afford to lose any more sheep. But what kind of animal could the killer be? Alone in the fields, the night skies lit up by an air-raid, Sammy is to need all his courage and determination when he suddenly comes face-to-face with the terrifying creature in the dark...
