Book description
Finding refuge in a quiet rural backwater, Dr David Hunter hoped he
might at last have put the past behind him. But then they found what
was left of Sally Palmer...
It isn't just that she was a friend that disturbs him. Once
he'd been a high-profile forensic anthropologist and all too familiar
with the many faces of death, before tragedy made him abandon this
previous life. Now the police want his help. But to become involved
will stir up memories he's long tried to forget. Then a second woman
disappears, plunging the close-knit community into a maelstrom of fear
and paranoia. And no one, not even Hunter, is exempt from suspicion.
Gruesome and gripping, this startling new British crime thriller has
an unnerving and original twist.
