Items related to The Sighting
The funeral of Jack's great-grandfather brings together a family split by a 50-year-old feud. But altogether feelings still run high, the cause of the bitterness is mysterious - as mysterious as the strange photograph of a UFO which Jack and his new-found cousin Julius unearth. Could this be the cause of all the trouble? And does it really show an alien spacecraft? An intruguing and witty mystery story about family relationships and other paranormal phenomena, told with all Jan Mark's inimitable style.
