Two crimes. Ten years apart. A detective forced to revisit a case he thought was long buried.
A fire devastates an abandoned house in the sleepy town of Helenborough. In the ruins, Detective Superintendent Mike Hallows discovers two bodies — one burned beyond recognition, and the other, a mummified corpse hidden in a forgotten cupboard.
The scene mirrors a double murder from ten years ago that Hallows has tried to forget. Back then, the killer was never found.
But the further he gets into this case, the more dangerous it becomes. The killer is watching, ready to strike again to keep their secrets buried.
With nothing but fragmented clues and mounting dread, Hallows faces a chilling reality — this isn’t just about solving a murder, it’s about stopping a killer who has waited ten years for the perfect moment to resurface.
Perfect for fans of Peter Robinson, Ann Cleeves, Joy Ellis and R.D. Wingfield.
MEET THE DETECTIVE:
Detective Superintendent Mike Hallows is a seasoned officer with a steady hand and a sharp mind. Behind the gruff exterior lies a man deeply committed to justice — especially when the crime threatens to stain the honour of the forces he once served alongside. Backed by the no-nonsense DCI Liz ‘Ferret’ Ireton and his complex personal ties to Helenborough, Hallows is the man you call when things get messy — and they often do.
