The fog rolled off the moor like a shroud, thick and grey and cold enough to seep through wool and bone alike. Edward Ashby pulled his collar higher and walked faster across the heather-choked path toward Whitby Abbey.He had been walking for three days since that night in the abandoned priory inn. Three days of bad bread, worse cheese, and sleeping under hedges when the rain came. He was thirty-two years old and had spent five years writing dispatches from places most Londoners only read about in Sunday papers.
