A new elite team. A chilling case. A detective with something to prove.
When a bloodied, terrified girl stumbles out of the woods and into traffic, police are stunned to learn she’s the schoolgirl who vanished three weeks ago. She’s alive—but too traumatised to speak.
Hours later, a woman’s body is found brutally crucified in a remote barn on the Yorkshire Moors. Clues at the scene connect her to the missing girl—and hint at horrors yet uncovered.
Fresh off a high-profile serial killer case, Detective Inspector Danica Summers is recruited to join a new elite unit: the Murder Force, created to solve the country’s most complex and disturbing crimes. But Dani worries she’s been chosen more for publicity than skill—and she’s determined to prove she belongs.
As the Murder Force takes on the gruesome case, Dani becomes obsessed with finding justice for the victims. But the deeper she digs, the darker the truth becomes—and the closer she gets to a predator who isn’t finished yet.
A gripping, unflinching thriller for fans of Val McDermid, Robert Bryndza, and Angela Marsons. Step into the shadows with DI Danica Summers as she takes on her most harrowing case yet.
