Three years ago, David Hunter moved to rural Norfolk to
escape his life in London, his gritty work in forensics,
and a tragedy that nearly destroyed him. Working as a
simple country doctor, seeing his lost wife and daughter
only in his dreams, David struggles to remain uninvolved
when the corpse of a woman is found in the woods, a
macabre sign from her killer decorating her body. In one
horrifying instant, the quiet summer countryside that had
been David’s refuge has turned malevolent—and suddenly
there is no place to hide.
The village of Manham is
tight-knit, far from the beaten path. As a newcomer, Dr.
Hunter is immediately a suspect. Once an expert in
analyzing human remains, he reluctantly joins the police
investigation—and when another woman disappears, it soon
becomes personal. Because this time she is someone David
knows, someone who has managed to penetrate the icy
barrier around his heart. With a killer’s bizarre and
twisted methods screaming out to him, with a brooding
countryside beset with suspicion, David can feel the
darkness gathering around him. For as the clock ticks down
on a young woman’s life, David must follow a macabre trail
of clues—all the way to its final, horrifying conclusion.
