In this widely praised debut crime thriller, a high-flying detective leaves London for a fresh start in the countryside--only to find himself on familiar ground hunting for a dangerous killer.
When Jake Jackson inherits his reclusive uncle's property in the country, the detective seizes the opportunity for a new life away from the hustle of London.
The new home in this charming rural idyll is beautiful and the surroundings are stunning. While the locals are a bit eccentric, they're also friendly and invite the newcomer to join their annual treasure hunt.
When a young woman's bones are discovered, Jake finds himself pulled back into the role of detective, and on the trail of a dangerous killer hiding within this most unlikely of settings.
