"Peter's heart thudded with fear as she saw the strange, shrouded figure standing in the misty moonlight by the river's bank. Waking so quickly from her nightmare of Harriet Brown it seemed, for a horrid moment, that her dream had come true. Then she realised that if she was the only one awake she must certainly give the alarm. Of course, the mysterious figure could not be Harriet Brown; it was probably one of those trying to force them to leave Bringewood . . . Peter (Petronella Sterling) and the other Lone Piners are camping on the borders of Shropshire and Hereford, where the River Teme runs sullen and deep through a gloomy gorge. Their aim - to help their new friend Nicholas find his missing family heirloom (the White-flower diamonds stolen many years before by the young housekeeper Harriet Brown and hidden somewhere before she drowned in the gorge she is now reputed to haunt). Yet others are on the track of the diamonds too - the sinister Man in the Brown Suit; Pudding Face (Simon Blandish, keeper of a local run-down inn); his unprepossessing son and girlfriend; as well as the workers demolishing Nicholas' old home Bringewood Manor. But the Lone Piners are not to be deterred by threats or violence -nor by the rain-swollen waters of the river thundering through the gorge - and as usual, with their thirst for adventure, they stay in the thick of things all the way to the story's thrilling climax. . . . Another exciting story in the Lone Pine Adventures series written many years ago by Malcolm Saville and now revised to delight a new generation of young readers.
