Under the Hill Alex Beecroft

Targeted by the Faerie Queen, Ben Chaudhry reluctantly turns to Chris Gatrell and his eccentric Paranormal Defence Agency for help. But it's hard to keep anything out of the snatching hands of determined elves. Chris himself was abducted from his own time - shot down in WWII, and shot forward seventy years in time, stranded far from his wartime sweetheart Geoff and his Lancaster bomber crew. When the inevitable happens and Ben is abducted by the elves, he finds himself a major player in a game of elven politics that may lead to the invasion of Britain. Meanwhile, Chris has to convince the police he didn't just murder Ben and hide the body. Determined not to lose another sweetheart to the elves' treachery, he presses the ghosts of his old crew back into action for a rescue attempt. But Geoff isn't dead at all - he's been on ice in Elfland all this time. Now he has a dragon and he's not afraid to use it. If only he could be entirely sure which of the elf queens is the real enemy-the one whose army is poised to take back planet Earth for elf-kind. In the cataclysmic battle to come, more than one lover-human and elf alike-may forced to make the ultimate sacrifice.
