Uncle Paul: Welcome to the Nightmare Summer Holiday

Another face, cool and smiling, framed against another rose arch, fifteen years ago. Cool in spite of the summer heat; smiling for the last time before the fearful discovery was made...

The holidays have begun. In a seaside caravan resort, Isabel and her sister, Meg, build sandcastles withe the children, navigate deckchair politics, explore the pier's delights, gorge on ice cream in the sun. But their half-sister, Mildred, has returned to a nearby coastal cottage where her husband - the mysterious Uncle Paul - was arrested for the attempted murder of his first wife.

Now, on his release from prison, is Uncle Paul returning for revenge, seeking who betrayed him, uncovering the family's skeletons? Or are all three women letting their nerves get the better of them? Though who really is Meg's new lover? And whose are those footsteps...?
