quiet country village, the hospital seeks the expertise of wildlife
vet Clara Benning. But the post mortem reveals this was no freak
accident.
Clara finds herself drawn into the hunt for a brutally inventive
killer, putting herself in grave danger as she unravels links to a

unspeakable tragedy.
For someone the truth must remain buried in the past, even if they
have to kill to keep it there.
