Two boys at an East Anglian Cathedral School are forced to spend Christmas together with an elderly master. One has no living relatives to go to, the other is in disgrace after his voice breaks and he commits a petty theft as revenge on the boy who has replaced him as head of choir.
These two boys, with nothing to keep them occupied, go chasing after musical score, lost back in the school's past.
A bit of a disappointment, really. I knew it was a short book from the start, but the story didn't ever seem to really get going, and the supposedly spooky atmosphere never really grabbed me.
