When Geoff, Natasha, Emma and Adrian are "double-dared" to go into a spooky new store in town, they can't resist. What they find is frightening. Newspapers that seem new but tell of events of sixty years ago or more, a radio broadcast of a cricket match that happened over seventy years ago and most frightenof all, an ancient oil painting of themselves. They will need all their courage and intelligence to conquer the evil picture that attaches itself to Geoff and threatens his very life.
