The Curious Story of Hattie Brown

Bethnal Green, England, 1962. After the tragic death of her father, fourteen-year-old Hattie Brown begins to have a recurring dream of a strange and mysterious oak tree. Built into the trunk is a red door with a golden doorknob and a lion head door knocker. The dream always ends with the door opening to reveal a blinding white light that Hattie walks into. What do the dreams mean for Hattie and her family? After spending two years in Brixton Prison for armed robbery Terry Stapleton is finally being released early for good behaviour. But not everyone is pleased to see him out in the open. Terry has a score to settle. Somebody grassed him up to the police for his involvement in the robbery. He aims to find out who did even if it means tearing Bethnal Green apart in the process.
