Book description
A walk in the woods takes a sinister turn for police chief Jeffrey
Tolliver and medical examiner Sara Linton when they stumble across the
body of a young girl. Incarcerated in the ground, all the initial
evidence indicates that she has, quite literally, been scared to
death.
But as Sara embarks on the autopsy, something even more horrifying
comes to light. Something which shocks even Sara. Detective Lena
Adams, talented but increasingly troubled, is called in from vacation
to help with the investigation - and the trail soon leads to the
neighbouring county, an isolated community, and a terrible secret ...
