Ok pretty obscure so a wee clue, writen by the same author who wrote the short story 'The Quiet Man' later turned into a movie with John Wayne and Mary? O'Hara (not 100% on the female actress here and refuse to google answer

Another wee clue is the story was centered on Tirriemore Farm Cottage and a big fat clue is what you use to lock the door and where that lock usually is....... giving it away now.

To be fair Jim got it (well half of it) as the book is indeed called the Key Above The Door by Maurice Walsh.

So i'll let you two fight it out for the next question.

Well done to both btw

Oh well, a Gerrard is a f**king big strain of Rainbow trout that lives in Canada, eh? (Canadian reference)
