In the bleak winter term of 1954 something terrible happens at Kirkston Abbey School for Boys. Forty years later a lone journalist hovers near the terrible truth - a truth buried long ago by the panicked authorities. Kirkston Abbey is no place for the weak: its rules are harsh and its discipline savage. To fourteen-year-old Jonathan Palmer it is a prison, so he can't believe his luck when Richard Rokeby - the tough, handsome, aloof and beguiling loner - seeks out his friendship. But as the bond between the two boys deepens, Richard grows increasingly possessive, until Jonathan realises that something is not quite right with his new friend. What starts out as an innocent game takes a shocking turn as Jonathan finds himself powerless to stop Richard from unleashing a force which will wreak a terrible fate on them all. The Wishing Game is a breathtakingly compelling and sinister psychological thriller that launched Patrick Redmond to his much-deserved bestseller status.
