Publisher's Synopsis
As a brutal winter takes hold of the Lake District, a prolific serial killer stalks the fells. The Stranger has returned and for DS Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg, the signs are all too familiar. Last seen on Dartmoor 10 years earlier, The Stranger murdered his victims in vicious, cold-blooded attacks - and when two young women go missing, Heck fears the worst. As The Stranger lays siege to a remote community, Heck watches helplessly as the killer plays his cruel game, picking off his victims one by one. And with no way to get word out of the valley, Heck must play ball.
