Publisher's Synopsis
Holly Stewart moved into Solace House thinking it would be a fresh start for her family. She knew a tragic murder had taken place there, but she didn't know the full ghastly history. Now, her husband has lost his job, the children are bullied at school and someone is prowling around the garden at night. Detective Jackman wants to help. Instead he's been pulled into a 20-year-old cold case. The gruesome murder of a young woman whose head was never found. A new witness comes forward. He claims to have crucial evidence on what really happened that night. Days later, a group of litter-pickers uncovers black sacks containing dismembered human limbs. Attending the scene, DS Marie Evans is shocked to see a strange symbol carved into the victim's flesh: the same symbol found on the headless girl all those years ago. The murders must be connected.
