An unthinkable evil. An unbearable secret.
Jake Sawyer is out in the cold. As winter descends on the Peak District, he finds himself suspended from the force, accused of murder.
When two young children go missing, feared abducted, Sawyer must improvise to help solve the mystery. And as the bodies of adults appear in remote locations, he suspects a chilling connection to the missing children.
With time running out on his bail, Sawyer must fight, not only to crack the cases, but also to clear his name.
But then his world is ripped open as he finally uncovers the unbelievable truth behind his mother's murder.
A truth that leads him to question everything he thought he knew.
A pacy British detective murder mystery with twists, dark humour and a compelling lead character whose backstory continues through the series. Set within the dramatic Peak District.
Perfect for fans of Val McDermid, Ian Rankin, MJ Arlidge and Karin Slaughter.
