A single grave. A silent town. A forty-year-old secret that refuses to stay buried.

Following their harrowing investigation into Ward Four, the Forgotten Places Club—Steve, Priya, Danny, and Cal—thought they understood the weight of the past. But when Priya discovers a physical anomaly in the Aldershot Military Cemetery, the mystery becomes deeply personal.

Amidst rows of headstones facing East and West, one soldier—Private Michael Webb—is buried facing South. Facing nothing. Facing "the wrong way."

What begins as a historical curiosity quickly spirals into a confrontation with institutional power. From the abandoned Garrison Theatre to the hushed corridors of their own school, the club uncovers a pattern of erasure that spans decades. Guided by the "Charter of Bearing Witness" and joined by Steve's uncompromising cousin, Maisie, the group must decide how far they are willing to go to give a voice to those the world tried to forget.

In The Wrong Way, Stuart Tanner weaves a gripping tale of mystery and social justice, exploring the thin line between history and activism. As the club dig deeper into the 1980s military cover-ups and local tragedies, they realise that bearing witness is the most radical act of all.
