The summer of 1986 was meant to be simple.
Six children. Six bikes. Long warm days. Old lanes. School holidays. The strange freedom between leaving junior school and starting high school.
But Halewick has never been good at staying ordinary.
A familiar shortcut feels different in the heat. A bell rings when it should not. Animals grow restless before the weather turns. Old walls, quiet fields and empty roads seem to remember more than they should.
At first, it feels like imagination. The kind of oddness that belongs to childhood summers, when every lane has a story and every shadow seems longer near dusk.
Then the pattern begins to show.
Warm, eerie and nostalgic, The Last Summer Before Halewick is a haunting coming-of-age mystery about friendship, childhood, loyalty and the strange moments that stay with us long after summer ends.
Before the roads became impossible...
Before Halewick truly called...
There was one last summer.
Years later, Halewick's deeper wound begins to show itself: a damaged record, a hidden absence, and a summer that refused to stay corrected.
The Last Summer Before Halewick is Book Four of Halewick: a British supernatural mystery of childhood friendship, strange roads, lost memories, dry humour, grief, loyalty and the terrible power of remembering who should have been there.
