A Viking community of peaceful farmers,
traders and craftsmen is devastated by a raid from a band of outlaws.
But help comes in the form of the appearance of a huge, ghostly
hound. A thousand years later the area is still being terrorised

and a very spirited little Yorkshire terrier called Filey, decide
to banish the ghost dog for ever.
A carefully researched historical adventure story. An exciting
and eerie ghost story for older children - and dog lovers of all
ages. All set against the backdrop of the low rolling hills of
South West Scotland and the vast sands and fast flowing tides
of the Solway.
