Death has come twice to Riverbank, a remote community in England's Lake District, each time on Halloween. Just before WWI, a young woman's corpse was found with a makeshift shroud frozen to her battered face. Her ghost--the Faceless Woman--is said to walk through Riverbank on Halloween. Five years ago, another woman was murdered and again her face was covered to hide her injuries. A murder specialist takes an interest in the cases and death returns to this isolated spot.
