Publisher's summary
When a strange force drags the TARDIS to Earth, it's clear that the Doctor, Harry and Naomi are up against an incredibly powerful being. And when they encounter Lord Pearson, inventor of games and toys, searching for his vanished daughter... it becomes clear exactly who that being might be. Hide and seek is one of the simplest games devised by man... but in the hands of The Toymaker... it may also become the deadliest.
Plot
Part one
Too busy to play hide and seek with his daughter, Etta, board game manufacturer Lord Pearson gives her a ouija board to occupy herself with and she hears a voice which agrees to play with her. The TARDIS arrives nearby a year later, brought by an unknown force, and the Doctor, Harry and Naomi join spiritualist Madame Bisset in visiting the Pearsons' house to find out what happened to Etta, who vanished whilst playing hide and seek with the voice. Whilst Harry is sceptical of mediums, the Doctor knows that a small percentage have genuine abilities and is not willing to immediately assume that Madame Bisset is a con artist.
