The children are moor-wise and unlikely to get into difficulties, but this time they did not come back,  and their tracks abruptly stopped. The man begs them to come help.They would say no, but there’s the assignment for Alderscroft. Why not kill two birds with one stone? But the deadly bogs are not the only mires on Dartmoor. And these are not the only missing children.
