From the Back Cover

It all began with the turn of a card in a seedy gambling den. In 1920 the Burton-Masseys lost their home, Pendleton Grange, their lands and several businesses in the heart of Bolton, including Massey's Yort. Reduced to a life of hardship, Alex Burton-Massey's widow and three daughters took refuge in Caldwell Farm, all that was left of their former wealth.

James Mulligan was the man who now owned their lands, and Massey's Yort which quickly became known as Mulligan's Yard. He was a silent, brooding character whose manners teetered on the brink of rudeness, but in spite of this many women found him attractive. Who was he? What was he? Did he hide a dark secret in the cellars of Pendleton Grange? And why did he involve himself so deeply in the lives of the Burton-Massey girls?

As the world roars into the Twenties, those who live and work in Mulligan's Yard go about their business and keep quiet. But a battle between Good and Evil is about to rage of its own accord.

Mulligan's Yard is one of Ruth Hamilton's most powerful and impressive books, teeming with rich and colourful characters and evoking the mood of a bygone age.
